Notes:
    This course with a C, or better, is a prerequisite for Math 1300. This course is intended to build and reinforce the essential geometry, arithmetic and algebraic skills needed for intermediate algebra (MATH 1300). Topics include real numbers and their properties, order of operations and simplifying real-valued expressions, simplifying algebraic expressions, solving linear equations and inequalities, an introduction to the Cartesian coordinate system and stated problems.
    Any student enrolled in this course is expected to use the Academic Support Center in 925N. The Math Lab Center offers tutoring, videotapes, and computers with web access. We will have a scheduled orientation.  
    You are expected to come to every class, be on time, take notes, read the textbook, do the homework corresponding to the material discussed in class, ask questions, and participate in a positive manner in class. All work passed in for credit must have your name, book’s page and section number, and all relevant work. Your questions must be indicated by a ? in the margin to catch my attention.

NO make ups will be given. If you miss a quiz, do "additional points" work to make up points. If you miss a test, see me as soon as possible (I will do your current average, we can discuss your options, and you will be given a required test to do for “Daily Class Work” points.).
      No student-supplied calculators may be used during any testing.
      There will be no classes March 15-19th.    

The university last class day is Monday, May 3rd . No later than the last day of class, pass in a scantron with your information on it for the Final Exam.                                                                                                                                                   Grades available at www.uhd.edu/eservices  as of 12 noon F, May 21st
