Hello, if you have any need, please feel free to consult us, this is my wechat: wx91due

Course Description: Presents algebra concepts and operations.  Topics include factoring, operations with rational expressions, absolute value,  exponents,  radicals and roots, linear and quadratic equations, and linear inequalities  and  graphs,  all  with applications.  (Not a transferable course)

Program Goal(s): Perform quantitative calculations related to the student’s chosen field of study.  Describe algebraic concepts generally applicable in work environments involving algebraic expressions.

Course Objectives: Upon Completion of the course, the student will be able to:

o   Add and subtract polynomials

o    Multiply polynomials

o   Use scientific notation

o   Recognize slope-intercept form

o   Solve and graph linearequalities in two variables

o   Application of slope-intercept form

o   Solve and graph linear inequalities in two variables

o   Solve (2x2) linear systems of equations/inequalities

o   Use the greatest common factor method to factor

o   Factor a trinomial of the form ax2 + bx + c

o   Add and subtract rational expressions

o   Perform arithmetic operations on algebraic fractions

o   Apply properties of exponents

o   Solve fractional equations

This Intermediate Algebra class was designed to provide you with the algebra background needed to further your education in college-level mathematics. The use of both Blackboard and Pearson's My Math Lab are incorporated for greater student success.

General Policies:

Attendance: At Keiser University, satisfactory attendance is considered a vital part of each student's performance.  You should expect to spend approximately 15 - 25 hours per work on classwork both online and offline, but you are expected to enter work on the site on at least three separate days per week. Attendance is not part of your course grade.

The Honor Code: Keiser University has adopted an honor code for its students.  The student pledges to complete the course without direct supervision  and to adhere to the principles of academic honesty.  This is especially important in an online class.  You may work together to understand all aspects of the course.  When taking quizzes or tests, or responding to Threaded Discussions, write or choose your own answers based on what you learn.  The instructor will assist each student in completing the objectives of the course stated in the Course Description and for each unit by providing feedback in Blackboard's Grade Center.

Courtesy and Netiquette: Please follow the rules of common courtesy in all of your online activities; including email, threaded discussions, and Keiser Live Chat room postings.  Disruptive or offensive behavior is not acceptable and may result in dismissal from the class.

Online security: Unfortunately, we all need to be careful about computer viruses.  Please protect yourself and your classmates with virus detection software on all computers that you use for the class.

General Questions and/or Comments: Communication between students and instructors is considered a vital part of the online learning process.

Threaded Discussion entries and Math Questions entries will be read and if necessary suggestions of additional reading or asking additional questions  for clarification my apply. Please allow a 24 hour response time from the date and time of your communication. It is best to use the Comment/Questions thread in Blackboard instead of email.

General Course Guidelines:

This course will be broken into four sections, one for each week of the course.  Accordingly, tasks will be due for each section during that week (week 1 quiz and test due during week 1, and so on).  Each week closes on Sunday at midnight, EST, which means that all work must be submitted before that   time.  You are required to login at least 3 times per week.

Homework assignments are not turned in for a grade in this class.  It is very important that you do them, however, in order to practice the different techniques and to master the material on the quizzes and tests.  You may take the weekly quiz as many times as you like, but you may take the weekly exam only one time.

If you have a general question, please post it to the General Questions thread.  It may be that someone else has the same question and it will save us all time if the question is asked and answered once. Use college email for personal communication and identify your name in the subject line.
