                                                              COURSE SYLLABUS

Course:  Math 1613

Instructor:  Rob Wylie

Office Location:  JH 210

Phone Number:  647-1236

   I.  Course Description:

PLANE TRIGONOMETRY.  A two dimensional study of angular measure, trigonometric solution of right and oblique triangles, vectors, logarithms, trigonometric and inverse trigonometric equations, complex numbers,  graphing trigonometric functions, and polar coordinates.   Prerequisites:  Math 0123 and Math 1513, or their equivalents.  Credit 3 hours.

  II.  Required Textbook:

Sullivan; Trigonometry; Eighth Edition; Prentice Hall Publishing; 2008.

  III.  Course Objectives:

A.  To help the student enhance his appreciation for  mathematics

B.    To help the students master trigonometry to the extent that they can apply it to the study of physical and engineering sciences.

C.  To help the student acquire knowledge that is vital to the study of more advanced mathematics courses.

IV.  Teaching Format:

This course will be taught primarily by lecture and demonstration.  The textbook will be the basis for  material to be presented and the student will be responsible for reading all material and working all problems assigned  by the instructor.  Computer assisted instruction disks and videos which are located in the Learning Resource Center (LRC), is available for supplementary purposes.

 V.   Evaluation Techniques:

At least four 50 minute objective examinations will be given during the semester.  Problems are assigned from each chapter taught and a grade is given for each assignment.  The test average will comprise 80% of the  semester grade with the remaining 20% of the grade determined by the assigned problems. If five tests are given the lowest test excluding the final will be dropped and not counted in the final average.  Three of the lowest homework scores will also be discarded and no late homework will be accepted.   If a test is missed it will be in the instructors discretion whether that test will be made up or the test allowed to drop. 

  VI.  Grading

The following grade scale will be used to determine a letter grade:     

                         90% - 100% > A

                         80% -  89% > B

                         70% -  79% > C

                         60% -  69% > D

                         Below  60% > F

VII.   Attendance Policy:

Attendance is highly important and stressed to each student.  Attendance is not counted as part of a grade; however, poor attendance usually reflects poor performance.  Students who begin to establish irregular habits are reminded of their need to attend regularly.

  VIII.  Make-Up Examinations

The student is expected to take all examinations at the specified time and date.  If a student has circumstances arise which make it impractical to take a test at its regularly assigned time it is his or her responsibility to contact the instructor prior to the examination if possible. The student will be given a make-up examination if, in the instructors opinion, the student had a legitimate reason to miss the regularly scheduled test.   Make-up tests are strongly discouraged.
