  1. Textbook: OpenStax Algebra and Trigonometry, by Jay Abramson, Arizona State University.
  2. Required materials: Either a smartphone, tablet, or laptop computer.
  3. Office hours: 3:10 to 4:00 MWF or by appointment.
  4. Instructor: Dana Lee Ling
  5. Email: dleeling@comfsm.fm, danaleeling@gmail.com
  6. Phones: Work: 320-2480 extension 228 | SIM: 926-2868 | Home: 320-2962
  7. Attendance: Students who are absent for more than six lecture classes can be dropped from the course. A late is one third of an absence. Thus any combination of absences and lates that exceeds six can result in withdrawal. Absences can be excused from the four absence limit for medical or official education-related travel. Appropriate documentation is required such as a note from the physician (doctor) or, in the case of education-related travel, some form of written or electronic communication from official sponsors of the travel.
  8. Drug policy: No betel nut in class nor on campus except in the cultural huts. No chewing of betel nut during class. Chewing betel nut during class can result in dismissal from class for that day.
  9. Student learning outcomes: The student will be able to:
    • Manipulate exponential/logarithmic functions.
    • Employ angles.
    • Evaluate trigonometric ratios.
    • The student will be able to graph and analyze periodic sinusoidal functions.
    • Grading policy: Homework, tests, and the final are marked and generate points. Your grade is a reflection of a body of work during the term. The final letter grade is based on the standard College policy: Obtain 90% of the points or more to obtain an A, 80% to 89% for a B, and so forth. The course uses an on line grade book, Schoology.com.
    • Academic Honesty Policy: Cheating on an assignment, quiz, test, midterm, or final will result in a score of zero for that assignment, quiz, or examination. Due to our cramped quarters, the course operates by necessity on a system of personal integrity and honor.
