Prep-Year Math Program
SYLLABUS
MATH 012 (092)
Pre-Requisite: Math 011
Textbook:
College Algebra & Trigonometry by LiaL, Hornsby, and
Schneider, 4th Edition, Pearson, (2009)
Objectives:
The students are expected to develop the
comprehension of the course material in English,
improve their computational skills and demonstrate
writing ability of solutions with logical steps. An
emphasis will be given to the understanding of the
statement of problem and the mathematical
terminology. The medium of instruction will be
strictly English from the first day of classes.
The course primarily aims at the development of
critical thinking among the students through the
mathematical concepts studied at the High School
level. Word problems will be an important part
of the course. MATH 011 will be regarded as a base
of this course.
Grading Policy:
1.
Exam I: 22% a common multiple choice exam. It will
be on April 5, 2010 [4.2 – 6.4]
2.
Exam II: 22% a common multiple choice exam. It
will be on May 17, 2010. [6.5 – 9.1]
3.
Final Exam: 36% a comprehensive common multiple
choice exam. It will be on Monday 12:30 PM, June 14,
2010.
4.
Class Work: 20% It is based on two common class
tests (7.5 points each), and Quizzes / Homeworks (5
points, left to Instructor's discretion). Any quiz
or test under class activity should be of written
type and not of a multiple choice type.
Class Work Average:
The
average of the class work for each section should be
in the interval: [ x,x+1], where x is the average of
(EX1 & EX2) each out of 20.
Exam Questions:
The questions of the common exams are based on the
examples, homework problems, recitation problems and
the exercises of the textbook.
Missing an Exam:
No makeup exam will be given under any circumstance.
When a student misses Exam I or Exam II for a
legitimate reason (such as medical emergencies), his
grade for this exam will be determined based on the
Department policy. Further, the student must provide
an official excuse within one week of the missed
exam.
Attendance:
A student will be awarded
the GRADE “DN” after missing TEN classes without an
OFFICIAL excuse. It is the responsibility of the
student to keep the record of his absences. Students
will have ONLY 6 days to submit their excuses to the
prep-year affairs ( 1st warning: 4
absences; 2nd warning: 7 absences; “DN”:
10 absences)
Website:
Please visit the DCC website
www.dcc.kfupm.edu.sa/sisweb/ to check
your attendance and warnings (WEEKLY). You may
check the solutions to homework questions and other
mathematics related announcements at the Prep-Year
website:
www.kfupm.edu.sa/pypmath
Tips on how to enhance your problem-solving abilities:
1.
Please do all the homework assignments on time.
2.
You are urged to practice (but not memorize) more
problems than the above lists.
3.
You should always try to solve a problem on your
own before reading the solution or asking for help.
4.
If you find it difficult to handle a certain type
of problems, you should try more problems of that
type.
5.
You should try the recitation problems before
coming to class.
6.
You are encouraged to solve some of the review
problems at the end of each chapter.
7.
The practice you get doing homework and reviewing
the class lectures and recitations will make exam
problems easier to tackle.
8.
Try to make good use of the office hours of your
instructor.
