Course Outline and Student Learning Outcomes:

https://portal.santarosa.edu/SRWeb/SR_CourseOutlines.aspx?mode=1&CVID=37479&Semester=20177

 

Sustainability will be included as class examples, homework problems, and projects. Sustainability issues will be integrated into the learning of statistics to help enlighten, engage and motivate students to pursue sustainability in their future careers and engage in personal activities that will positively affect the environment in which we live. 

 

Homework will be collected at the beginning of each class. Each section will be worth 20 points: 10 will be based on the Refrigerator Homework problems, and 10 points will be based on your computer homework.  Refrigerator homework problems done from the text should be handed in stapled on top of your work for the computer homework for the same section and should be well labeled. Both should be done neatly with a two-column format, answers circled, and space left for comments between problems. Refrigerator Homework(RH) should be so complete, beautiful, and clear enough that it is suitable for display on your refrigerator. For Computer Homework(CH) you must state the problem and show all work, write the percentage correct on the top, and staple it to the back of your Refrigerator Homework.  In cases of illness or emergency, late homework will be accepted but will be worth 7/10 for the Refrigerator part.

 

Quizzes will be given regularly. Unannounced quizzes may be given at the beginning or end of any class. You should ask for copies of missed quizzes to be completed at home and receive 7/10 credit. Any quiz on which you receive less than half credit may be corrected within a week to get up to half credit. The sum of the quiz grades will be worth a test grade.

 

In Class Test dates are listed below, and cannot be made up.  The final is cumulative. Grade on final can replace a missed test grade. Test points have more weight than homework points.

 

Math 215 Assessments include your workbook, practice tests, test corrections, and Affective Domain reflection essays. In addition, some homework, quiz, test and final questions will be included in your Math 215 final grade. Your Math 215 grade is based on your mastery of the prerequisite knowledge included in these assessments. Math 215 is a pass or no pass course. 

 

Communication: Please check your Canvas account and your SRJC e-mail daily for any announcements, handouts or assignments that I may send out. If you e-mail me, please include your full name as well as the course and section number that you are in.

GRADING Math 15: If you want to pass, come to class, do the homework, and see me if you need help!!

Tests (4 exams at 10% each) …..........................................       40%

Final Exam ........................................................................        30% 

Project …………………………………………………………………………..        10%

Daily written homework ...................................................       10%

Quizzes     .........................................................................        10%  

             Course grades use the following scale:

A:  90-100             B:  80-89             C:  70-79  D:  60-69          F:  0-59

Example:  Mr. Bill has scores of 70, 74, and 90 on his three tests and his final exam score is 70.  His project score is 85 and his homework average is 567/600 = 94.5% and his quiz average is 100%.  His course grade is then

0.12*(70+74+90) + 0.34*70 +0.10*85 + 0.10*94.5 + 0.10*100 =79.8 , a C  in the class.

 

GRADING Math 215: If you want to pass, come to class, do the homework, and see me if you need help!!

Tests (4 exams at 7% each) …..........................................       28%

Final Exam ........................................................................        32% 

Reflections……………………………………………………………………..        10%

             Course grades use the following scale:

A:  90-100             B:  80-89             C:  70-79  D:  60-69          F:  0-59

Example:  Mr. Bill has scores of 70, 74, and 90 on his three tests and his final exam score is 70.  His project score is 85 and his homework average is 567/600 = 94.5% and his quiz average is 100%.  His course grade is then

0.07*(60+70+74+90) + 0.32*70 + 0.1*70 + 0.10*85 + 0.10*94.5 + 0.10*100 =77.9 , a C  in the class.
