COLLEGE ALGEBRA… “in a nutshell”

***Visit D2L for the full syllabus***

Meet your instructor!

• My name is Kimberly Williams. This is my sixth semester teaching math at Lone Star Tomball, and I
LOVE IT here! I have degrees from Ole Miss and the University of Alabama in Huntsville. I live in Spring
with my husband, Nathan, and our two cats, Bowser and Yoshi.

• Need to get in touch with me? E-mail me at [email protected], with the subject line
“College Algebra.”

What supplies am I going to need?

• Required: a ConnectMath access code. You may purchase one online, individually at the bookstore, or
as part of a course pack with the textbook. This code give you access to our online homework system
as well as the e-book.

• Required: a graphing calculator (I recommend a TI-83 or TI-84). You may purchase one at any office
supply store, or rent one from the bookstore.

• Optional: a physical copy of our textbook, College Algebra & Trigonometry (ISBN-10: 0078035627).

What are we going to learn this semester?

Once you complete this course, you will be able to answer all of the following questions (and many more):

• What is a general function? How can I represent one? How can I use one? How can I graph one?
• What are polynomial, rational, radical, exponential, and logarithmic functions? How can I graph them?
• What is a matrix? How can I use one?

How will I be graded in this class?

• TESTS: (3 x 15% = 45%) Each test will consist of multiple-choice problems and problems that require
you to show your work for credit. You will be allowed to use your graphing calculator on each test. You
may make up a maximum of ONE missed test, with approval from me.

• HOMEWORK: (30%) Each section covered in class will be supplemented by a homework assignment on
ConnectMath. You should expect to spend one to two hours on each, and you will have one week from
the date we cover the associated material to complete each assignment. You may complete
assignments after their due dates for 80% credit.

• FINAL EXAM: (25%) The final exam will be comprehensive and will consist of multiple-choice problems
and problems that require you to show your work for credit. You will be allowed to use your graphing
calculator on the final exam.

How can I be successful in this class?

• Come to class. There is a strong positive correlation between class attendance/participation and class
performance. Don’t come to class, don’t pass – it’s as simple as that.

• Do your homework. Homework is intended to reinforce what you learn in class. It’s only useful if you
do it in a timely manner. Complete what you can, then send me an e-mail if you need help.

• Ask questions. When you have a question, ask it! There is no reason to be embarrassed - I can
guarantee that you won’t be the only person who needs answers. Ask sooner rather than later.
