SYLLABUS
MATH 001 (171)

Textbook: Algebra and Trigonometry, by J.Stewart, L.Redlin and S.Watson (Fourth edition 2014)

Upon completion of Prep year Math 001 course, a student should be able to :

(1) Perform basic algebraic operations

(2) Recognize the concepts of functions, graphs and properties of functions and solve related equations.
(3) Use algebraic, numerical, and graphical processes to manipulate and analyze equations, inequalities, and functional
relationships.
(4) Derive a correct solution for a given mathematical problem and interpret the outcome correctly

Note: The medium of instruction will be strictly ENGLISH from the first day of classes.

Grading Policy:
1. Exam I: 20% a common multiple choice exam.
2. Exam II: 20% a common multiple choice exam.
3. Final Exam: 36% a comprehensive common multiple choice exam.
4. Class Work: 18% based on a minimum of 5 quizzes (10%), 1 class tests (8%); Any quiz or test under class activity
should be of written type and not of a multiple choice type.
5. Online homework (6%).
1
Unexcused absence: Starting from the fifth time being absent, point will be deducted for each absence from the total grade.
2

Exam Questions: All exam questions are similar to the textbook exercises and examples, recitations, and online
homework problems.

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’s policy. Furthermore, 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 8 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: 3 absences; 2nd warning: 6 absences; “DN”: 8 absences)
