Modern Geometry Directed Study MAT 313 Fall 2013 Professor: Mrs. Hoffman Office: Arts & Science # 23 (AKA Timms Hall) Office Hours: M, W, F 3:00 – 5:00 PM, Tue, Thurs. 1:00 – 5:00 PM E-mail: [email protected] I. Required Text Alexander, Daniel C., Koeberlein, Geralyn M., Elementary Geometry for College Students, Brooks/Cole, Cengage Learning, Belmont, CA, Fifth Edition, 2011 ISBN: 978 -14390 – 4790 – 3 II. Course Outline A. Chapter One: Line and Angle Relationships Exam Date: Wed., Sept. 4 B. Chapter Two: Parallel Lines Exam Date: Friday, Sept.20 C. Chapter Three: Triangles Exam Date: Monday, Oct. 7 D. Chapter Four: Quadrilaterals Exam Date: Wed., Oct. 23 E. Chapter Five: Similar Triangles Exam Date: Wed. Nov.6 F. Chapter Six: Circles Exam Date: Wed., Nov.20 G. Chapter Eight: Areas of Polygons & Circles Exam Date: Fri. Dec. 6 H. Final Exam To Be Determined Note: If you have not taken the Mathematics Competency Exam, you will be required to take and pass the exam in order to pass the course. III. Course Requirements A. You will take quizzes. I reserve the right to administer an unannounced quiz. B. You are expected to complete all daily assignments. Occasionally daily assignments will be collected and graded. C. You will take seven unit exams. D. You will take a comprehensive final exam. IV. Course Grading A. Daily assignments and quizzes B. Seven Unit Exams (100 points each) C. Final Exam (Comprehensive) = 100 points 11% = 700 points 78% = 100 points 11% D. Total Points = 900 points 100% E. Your grade will be computed by dividing the total number of points you earn by the total number of possible points. F. The grade scale stated in the catalog will be used to assign a final letter grade. V. Course Attendance N/A for Directed Study A. You are expected to attend and to be alert in every class session. B. You are expected to attend the entire class period to receive credit for attending the class. C. You are expected to be in the class when the period begins. Unexcused tardiness (entering after the class begins) will result in 1/3 of an absence. (Three tardy days equal one class absence.) D. Number of Absences 1. No absences - ten bonus points 2. Three or less absences – five bonus points 3. If you have 11 or more absences (25% of the total number of classes) you will automatically fail the course. E. Any work (homework, quiz, or exam) missed because of an excused (documented) absence may be made up. This must be done within five class days. F. Any work not made up, or work missed because of an unexcused absence will result in a zero for the day’s work. You will log the hours you spend watching the power points, doing the homework, and spending with me to answer your questions. I will collect this log at the end of the courses. You need to put in 126 hours. ( 42 hours X 3 credit hours) VI. Relation of Modern Geometry to the Outcome Goals of Toccoa Falls College’s Academic Program This class is an elective offering and is required only by Middle Grades Teachers Education Majors. It does support the outcome goal of the School of Arts and Sciences, number one: The successful student will demonstrate a basic intellectual competence in mathematics. VII. Course Assignments A.
