Trigonometry 5th Edition, by Mark Dugopolski
Note: The textbook is optional because you will be buying the MyLab Math Access Code, and you will have access to the e-Text.
Textbook from above
You will need a graphing calculator for this course. All demonstrations in class will be done on a TI-84 Plus. If you already own another graphing utility, check with me to see if it is appropriate for this course. You will not be able to use a TI-89, TI-92, or TI-Nspire calculator on exams. Students unable to afford the purchase of a graphing calculator can apply to check one out for the semester. IT is a first come, first served, so bring a copy of your schedule as soon as possible to the Adult Students Program, Student Services Center, Room 130, between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
You will need a MyMathLab Access Code to access the online homework program. In addition to the online homework, if you do not want to buy a hard copy of the textbook, you can use this program to access the an electronic copy of the textbook.
You will also need an Amarillo College student I.D. for testing and tutoring.

In order to receive your AC Connect Email, you must log in through AC Connect at https://acconnect.actx.edu .
If you are an active staff or faculty member according to Human Resources, use "Exchange". All other students, use "AC Connect (Google) Email".
SCHOLASTIC DISHONESTY: Scholastic dishonesty (cheating) of any kind will not be tolerated in this course. Cheating is defined in Webster’s College Dictionary as “taking an examination in a dishonest way, as by having improper access to answers.” Improper access includes, but is not limited to, copying from another student’s paper and using unauthorized sources of information while taking a test. Participating in scholastic dishonesty will result in a non replaceable grade of zero on the assignment or exam involved. Thus, if you are caught cheating on an exam, a grade of zero will be assigned with no chance of the final exam replacing that grade. Further action at a higher level may be sought if necessary. Scholastic dishonesty is clearly defined in the Student Rights and Responsibilities. If you are caught with a cell phone out during an exam for ANY reason, you will receive an F for the course.
BEHAVIORAL EXPECTATIONS/CLASSROOM GROUND RULES: Students are expected to behave in the classroom in a manner that is supportive of the learning environment. Behaviors that are not supportive include but are not limited to: tardiness/leaving early, electronic device noises, talking during lecture, abusive, offensive, or disrespectful language and/or demeanor toward AC faculty, staff, students and/or property.
In order to receive credit for a course, all material listed on the syllabus must be covered. The state of Texas sets the requirements; therefore, this course will move at a pace to ensure that these requirements are met. Complaining about the pace will not result in less material being covered.
Students who fail to comply with the standards outlined in the syllabus and/or “Student Rights & Responsibilities” will be subject to disciplinary action which may include but is not limited to: removal from the classroom, consultation with department chair and/or other AC authority, withdrawal from the course and/or the college.
ADDITIONAL CLASSROOM EXPECTATIONS:
Your semester grade (90-100 A, 80-89 B, 70-79 C, 60-69 D, Below 60 F) will be determined as follows:
| Homework | 10% |
| Quizzes | 5% |
| Major Exams | 60% |
| Final Exam | 20% |
| Reviews | 5% |
All grades will be posted on BlackBoard under My Grades. Be aware that the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, prohibits instructors from disclosing information regarding grades over the phone, via email, or to a third party. Thus, if you need to discuss your grade with me, you must do so in person or check online.
Regular attendance is necessary for satisfactory achievement. If an absence occurs, the student is responsible for the information and assignments covered in class. Attendance will be taken during every class period. If a student is more than 10 minutes late or leaves more than 10 minutes early, they will be counted absent.
Please remember the deadline for dropping this class is Wednesday, December 8, 2021. If you stop attending class and your average drops below a 60 due to missed assignments and you do not officially drop the course by this deadline, you will receive an F for the course.

Please note that the schedule is subject to change.
Homework
All homework will be assigned from MyLab Math with a couple exceptions. Homework will be assigned after the completion of a section. It is up to the student to fully complete the homework. Any work turned in that does not meet the requirements set by the instructor during class will receive no credit. All work must be legible. All work must be completed by the due date shown in MyLab Math and/or stated in class.
You are strongly encouraged to go to the Tutoring Center if you feel you need extra help or if you just want a place where you can do your homework and get help if you need it. The Outreach Center is located in Room 116 in Dumas.
Quizzes
We will have several quizzes throughout the semester. Note that makeup quizzes will not be given. The two lowest quiz grades will be dropped at the end of the semester.
The quizzes will be very good to prepare you for the exams. You should print out all quizzes. They will be done with pencil and paper, and your work must be legible and neat. There should be no scratch work on the quizzes. All quizzes will be turned in to dropboxes in Blackboard by the assigned date given out in class.
Quizzes will be turned in each week on Tuesdays. They must be turned in as a single file with multiple pages in PDF format. The naming schema is the following: LastName_FirstName_Week#. LastName is your last name. FirstName is your first name. Week # is the week number for class. I am not yet sure which quizzes will be due when, but the schedule gives you a good idea. For instance, Week 1 shows Sections 1.1 and 1.2. Therefore, it is likely that quizzes 1.1 and 1.2 will be turned in on Tuesday of the second week in the dropbox.
Major Exams
Up to four exams will be given during the semester, time permitting. Note that no makeup exams will be given. If a student misses an exam, the grade will be replaced with the final exam grade. Only one test is allowed to be replaced by the final exam grade. If the student does not miss any exams during the semester, the final exam grade, if higher, will replace the lowest major exam grade. In the event of a take-home exam, absolutely no late work will be accepted.
You will be required to spend at least 1 hour in the Tutoring Center if you score below a 70 on any major exam. This requirement must be fulfilled before the next exam. You can spend this time going over your previous exam, doing homework, or preparing for the next exam. The Tutoring Center is located in room 116. You may also get tutoring virtually via Zoom. If you fail to meet this requirement, you will receive a zero on the next exam.
Final Exam
A comprehensive final exam will be due by Wednesday, December 15, 2021. The final exam may count as a replacement grade for a regular exam if the grade is higher than your lowest regular exam. This only applies to one regular exam. Whether the final exam repalces a regular exam or not, the final exam will count as the final exam grade.
Extra Credit
Outside the dropped homework assignments and quizzes and the replacement of the lowest exam, extra credit is not offered.
Flipped Class
This is a flipped class, unless decided otherwise collectively. What this means is that you are expected to watch the course lecture videos as homework. You should write down the work exactly as you would if you were in class listening to the lecture. There are a few sections that do not have videos. We will cover those sections in class.
Attendance
Attendance is a very necessary requirement for success in a mathematics course. Therefore, in order to be counted present, you will be required to have you camera on during class. Also, your attendance may on occasion come from an attendance question. The question may be a question I ask you to do in class, or it may be to just ask you to take a picture of your work from a question in the videos you should have watched before the class. You will submit these in the manner prescribed in class.
Phone/Pagers
Cell phones and pagers must be turned off or in silent mode and OUT OF SIGHT while in the classrooms and the computer labs.
FREE HELP
If you feel yourself getting behind in class or having problems with certain concepts covered, get help immediately. It is YOUR responsibility to get help outside of class.
