Grading Policy: There are three possible grades in this course, ‘S’, ‘P’, and ‘U’.
 A grade of ‘S’ means Satisfactory, and promotes the student to the next course, MAT 1033.
 A grade of ‘P’ means Progress, and student must enroll in MAT 0028 or MAT 0022C.
 A grade of ‘U’ means Unsatisfactory, and student must enroll in MAT 0028 or MAT 0022C.
These grades, ‘S’, ‘P’, and ‘U’, will be awarded based on the following requirements.
S – Satisfactory: To pass the course with an ‘S’ – ALL of the following conditions must be met:
1) Satisfactory attendance in the course.
2) Average 70% or higher on all assignments.
3) Completed at least 90% of all scheduled lab time and 90% of the required 16 hours of math center
time, with documentation of extreme circumstances for any missed time.
P – Progress: To pass the course with a ‘P’ – the following conditions must be met:
1) Satisfactory attendance in the course.
2) Maintained a minimum of 60% average in the course.
3) Completed at least 60% of all scheduled lab and 60% of the required 16 hours of math center time
4) Unsuccessful in meeting the standards for a grade of ‘S’
This indicates that, although a student has acquired some knowledge, the student is not ready for MAT
1033. Students must repeat MAT 0028 or take MAT 0022C.
U – Unsatisfactory: Student did not meet requirements for ‘S’ or ‘P’ and must repeat the course. Any student
who stops showing up and fails to withdraw from the course will get a grade of ‘U’. This ‘U’ will adversely affect
your GPA so be careful!

Students are invited to visit the professor during advisement hours. Additional support is available in the
Math Resource Center (located in Room 2222), which is also where the “16 hour open lab” requirement will
be completed if it is not met by the scores on MyMathLab quizzes.
Note: Computers are available at the Math Center for working on MyMathLab assignments. Computers are
also available in the Computer Courtyard located on the first floor of the library, however, you will not earn
open lab hours while you work in the Computer Courtyard.

MIAMI-DADE COLLEGE LEARNING OUTCOMES
Purpose: Through the academic disciplines and co-curricular activities, General Education provides multiple,
varied, and intentional learning experiences to facilitate the acquisition of fundamental knowledge and skills
and the development of attitudes that foster effective citizenship and life-long learning.
As graduates of Miami Dade College, students will be able to:
1. Communicate effectively using listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. This outcome will be addressed
through questions that are open-ended (not multiple choice) on all tests and assessments described in the
syllabus, as well as through class participation.
2. Use quantitative analytical skills to evaluate and process numerical data. In this course students will need to
read and identify data from graphs and charts. Students will also learn to develop quantitative skills to interpret
data from graphs. Also, students will solve algebraic equations and inequalities and manipulate data through
unit analysis.
3. Solve problems using critical and creative thinking and scientific reasoning. In the process of solving
mathematical problems, students will need to use critical thinking skills to interpret solutions. Creativity in
solving problems is constantly encouraged in this course and viewed as an important skill in mathematics.
Critical thinking skills are heavily emphasized in this course.
4. Formulate strategies to locate, evaluate, and apply information.
In this course students will often need to solve real-life word problems which apply the mathematical concepts
presented. Students will work to solve these problems and identify relevant information in the problems in
order to be able to solve them.
5. Demonstrate knowledge of diverse cultures, including global and historical perspectives.
In this course, whenever possible, students will be introduced to the use of mathematics through diverse
cultures as well as historical notes on the mathematical concepts you learn.
6. Create strategies that can be used to fulfill personal, civic, and social responsibilities. This outcome is not
reinforced in this course.
7. Demonstrate knowledge of ethical thinking and its application to issues in society. This outcome is not
reinforced in this course.
8. Use computer and emerging technologies effectively. In this course students will be sent information about the
course via email. Students will also be required to use online software to complete assignments.
9. Demonstrate an appreciation for aesthetics and creative activities.
This outcome is not reinforced in this course.
10. Describe how natural systems function and recognize the impact of humans on the environment. This
outcome is not reinforced in this course.

Coverage of Topics
The department requires that you discuss all the topics listed for this course so that the students are prepared when they enter the
next level. The arithmetic and algebra in this course is presented in an integrated fashion. Do not spend more than 15 hours of class
time on concepts from arithmetic.
