College Algebra MAT 121 Semester Course Outline (Fall 2013)
This is a tentative schedule. Changes to the course outline will be announced in class. Student
attendance will ensure knowledge of any changes. As with any college class, plan on spending
two hours of study/review/homework time for each hour of class. Please do not ask for
explanations of homework exercises that you have not first tried outside of class. Being a
successful student requires that you be aggressive and protect your study time from friends, your
employer, games, social media, and your favorite TV programs.
Please read assigned sections before class lectures/demonstrations.
