Mrs. Kanno’s Math 240 Section 009, Fall 2010
My office is located at GTM 350 hanging a green cloth on the door.
Call me at 318-257-3329 or e-mail me at jkanno@latech.edu with your name on it. I will use Blackboard and e-mail you at the
Tech account. Please regularly check your Tech e-mail or Blackboard announcements.
Office Hours are updated under the Staff Information at Blackboard and posted on the office door. Tentative Office Hours are
MTWRF 8:30-9:30 am and MW 2-4 pm and M 10-11am or by an appointment. I will not answer math questions on test days.
Reserved Class Time/Location: MWF 12:30-1:45 PM and TR 10:00-11:15 AM /both in GTM 319
Attendance: Read the university bulletin about class attendance. If you are sick, do not risk your health and others. Just inform
me before or after the event. If you miss a class, copy someone’s notes and learn at your own pace.
Testing: I plan five tests and a final exam. Each is worth 20 points. I will also compute a daily score for you. I will use this score
as the make-up for the first test or exam you miss or ask me not to grade. The final exam may be used to make up extra missed
test. If you miss more than one test, do not miss the final exam.
Daily Score: Your daily score is your best test score multiplied by the average of your pop quiz rate and your WeBWorK rate
and your best ALEKS rate. To get credit for a pop quiz, come to class on time, act right during class and work the quiz correctly.
To get WeBWorK credit, go to webwork.latech.edu and click on the section for Kanno’s math 240 class. Use your Louisiana Tech
e-mail name and password. You may e-mail me questions directly from WeBWorK. Finish WeBWorK and ALEKS by the end of
the 9th week.
ALEKS: The ALEKS course code for this section is G6DCT-VXJQM.
Grading: Greater than 92% course grade will earn an A, at least 82% earns a B, at least 72% earns a C and at least a 62%
course grade is required to earn a D.
Calculator Policy: No graphing calculator on the tests. You may use calculators and computers on WeBWorK and ALEKS.
Homework: Go to the sections covered in the outline below. Work as many of the exercises as you can. Go to the WeBWorK
website and work as many of those as you can. You probably need to do some mathematics every day.
Textbook:Single Variable Calculus with Precalculus, 2nd Ed., B. Schröder, Fountainhead Press.
Course Goals: Establish good habits in college and maintain them to be successful. Good habits include keeping you healthy
by eating good food, having your own goals, planning ahead, and not hesitating to ask questions when you are not sure. The
worst questions are not asking a question.
