Configure Your Email Clients
Please make sure that the following email addresses are not sent to the “spam” or “trash” folders for any of
your email clients. You may receive important emails from any of these addresses and you want to make sure
you get them: gatormm@ufl.edu, LISTSERV@lists.ufl.edu, and notifications@instructure.com.
Calculator Policy
Calculators are not allowed on class examinations (or quizzes). Some WebAssign questions will need decimal
approximations for answers and this can be accomplished by typing the exact expression for the answer into a
“Google Search Engine” search box.
What is this Course about?
Trigonometry is the study of the six trigonometric functions originally conceived by the ancient Greeks but have
many significant modern applications. This course forms a large chunk of the MAC1147 “Precalculus” core and
when combined with MAC 1140 will prepare you for the Calculus Sequence beginning with MAC2311.
How is this Course Taught?
Mr. M teaches the course by filling in his own lecture outlines, called “Topics”, which are based on the
equivalent subset of notes in the MAC1147 course as taught by U.F.’s Mathematics department. However, these
are Mr. M’s original notes and go into a lot more detail than the MAC1147 course can given it’s time frame. Mr.
M’s notes also include a lot of Review to ensure all students are on equal footing. Topic outlines will be posted
on CANVAS but may be emailed as well. See the section on “Configuring your Email Clients” above. There will be
numerous assignments on WebAssign and written assignments that are heavily tied to the lecture notes (at least
as much as Mr. M can tie them together).
Warning about CANVAS’s Grade Predictions
We will use CANVAS this semester to host the course web content and post grades. Unfortunately, CANVAS
does not always predict the correct estimated final grade early in the term and does not always report an
accurate final grades at the end of the term. You should be aware that Mr. M maintains all grades in his own
spread sheet and calculate final grades form that spread sheet. Mr. M does not use CANVAS to compute final
grades. Your official course grade will be posted to CANVAS under an assignment with the name “Final Total
Course Points & Letter Grade” at the end of the semester. One thing that is nice about CANVAS is that you have
the ability to type in desired grades called “What-If” grades for any assignment in the Gradebook. This will allow
you to experiment with possible grades on upcoming tests and how the outcome will affect your overall grade.

WebAssign or eTextbook Scratch Work Collections
The primary way you practice the mathematical skills taught in the course is by completing the WebAssign
homeworks which accompany each Topic outline. This is also one topic (section of the book) whose WebAssign
homework is so horribly un-educating that Mr. M will either assign textbook homework for that one section or
skip that section. While some of the homework questions you may be able to do in your head, there are many
others that you should be working out on paper. Any question you get wrong should BE REWORKED on paper.
To encourage students to practice this great study habit Mr. M will collect the scratch work of one or two
particular problems for the most recent WebAssign homework from a small “random” sample of students during
the class period after that homework’s due date.
It is a good idea to always work your homework problems on lose leaf sheets of paper and keep them in a 3-ring
binder for easy access. You should label the top-left corner of all sheets with the assignment name and each
question should be clearly numbered. Multiple attempts on that question should also be numbered. When you
turn in your paper you should write your name, UFID, and section number in the top-right corner. Mr. M will
assign a score of 10 to the collected scratch work based on the correct labeling of your name, UFID, section
number, the question number, the attempt numbers, the assignment name, whether or you not you showed
adequate scratch work for that problem, and whether or not your scratch work for the collected question
matches your online response.
Mr. M only collects a small sample each time because grading 100 papers of scratch work is painfully slow.
Eventually everyone will turn in several scratch works. You will not know if you are turning in scratch work, or
which question’s scratch work is being collected, until right before it is collected. At the end of the semester
your average score on all scratch works will be multiplied by 1.2 to obtain your “WebAssign or eTextbook
Scratch Work Collections” points. In CANVAS, scratch works that you were not responsible for will be assigned a
grade of “−1” (and automatically dropped so don’t freak out).
Lecture Note Cross-Word Puzzles
Every Topic Outline is associated with 1 or 2 Crossword puzzles (Mr. M is trying to get it down to 1) . Once we
have covered up to a certain point in a Topic Outline then a certain Crossword puzzle will need to be completed
by the following class period. The answers to the puzzle can (mostly) be found in the completed Topic outlines.
As crossword puzzles can be painfully slow to grade only a handful of students will be required to turn in a
specific crossword puzzle on its due date. Everyone will eventually turn in several crossword puzzles. You will not
know if you are turning in a crossword puzzle until right before it is collected. Mr. M will assign a score of 10 to
each crossword puzzle. At the end of the semester your average score on all crossword puzzles will be multiplied
by 1.5 to obtain your “Lecture Note Cross-Word Puzzle” points. In CANVAS, crossword puzzles that you were not
responsible for will be assigned a grade of “−1” (and automatically dropped so don’t freak out).

MAC 1114, Sections 3019, 074H, and 3474
Trigonometry with Mr. Mahoney
WebAssign Assignments / In-Class Quizzes
Every Topic Outline, except for some dealing with identities in Chapter 5, is associated with 1 or 2 WebAssign
Homeworks (Mr. M is trying to get that down to 1). You must have access to WebAssign in order to complete
these homeworks. There will also be WebAssign review quizzes. Some which are optional and some which are
mandatory. WebAssign can be used for our course for free during the 14-day grace period. You will have to
present a WebAssign Access Code or purchase one online by January 21, 2015.
You have 15 attempts to get each question right on a WebAssign homework but after 5 wrong attempts you
should be able to practice a different version, and after 10 wrong attempts you should be given access to any
helping resources if they exist. After you completed the question or run out of attempts you should be able to
see the answer key and should be able to practice another version. You should ask Mr. M for help if you are
having trouble getting any question correct within 3 attempts. You will have between 48 and 72 hours to
complete any particular WebAssign homework.
As stated above, there are some sections in Chapter 5 where WebAssign just does not provide the same kind of
practice that pencil-and-paper homework will. For these sections we may supplement with “E-Textbook”
homework and in-class quizzes. In general we will not have weekly quizzes except for these few exceptions.
Before each exam Mr. M intends (hopes, plans, but not guaranteed) to post a WebAssign Review Quiz which will
sample question from all previous home works display them in battle royal. The review quiz prior to each Exam
are fully optional. However, a copy of Exam 01’s Review Quiz will be made available right after Exam 02 and it’s
completion is required. Similarly, a copy of Exam 02’s Review Quiz will be made available right after Exam 03 and
it’s completion is required.
Each WebAssign Assignment or in-class quiz is scored out of 10. However, your grade points from this category
are determined by multiplying your average grade on all Homeworks and Quizzes by 2.4.

Unnecessary Course Textbook
The official course textbook is Precalculus UF Custom Edition, 9th edition, by Larson. The complete version of the
Textbook is fully compatible with this course. You do not need to purchase the textbook unless you want to. An
electronic copy of it, the eTextbook, is available from WebAssign. Copies of the book and solutions manual are
apparently available for in-library use at the reserve desk of UF Norman Library and UF Smathers Library West.
We will never need the actual textbook.
Semester Exams, Replacement Exam and Final Exam
Semester exams will consist of:
(1) 1 or 2 Free-Response question (inspired by lecture note problems and/or W.A. H.W.), …
(2) Multiple Choice Questions (also inspired by lecture note problems and/or W.A. H.W.), …
(3) fill-in the blank vocabulary questions (inspired by the cross-word puzzles and lecture notes) along with a
provided work bank of answers, and …
(4) True and False questions (inspired by any concept in the lecture notes or questions that don’t fit in the
other three sections).
The Final Exam will not have any free response questions on it. Exams are based on content seen in the lecture
notes and on the assigned homework.
As Mr. M is teaching three sections of MAC1114 semester, we will have nighttime assembly exams which will
start at 8:30 a.m. and end at 9:30 a.m. Mr. M is waiting for the University Registrar to give him the official exam
dates. A tentative date and time for the final exam is April 27 from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Official exam dates,
times, and locations will be announced on our CANVAS site. For each exam please remember to do the
following:
(1) Arrive at the exam location on time. Any student who is 20 minutes late will miss there exam. No
students will be allowed to leave within the first 20 minutes.
(2) Bring your UFID card with you to the exam. Try not to bring anything of value as you will have to leave
your personal belongings, other than a pencil and your UFID, at the front of the exam room.
(3) Please make sure your electronic devices are off or in a “Silent” mode during the test. We have
approximately 100 students taking each test and 99 of them will not appreciate it when your
backpack/purse is vibrating and singing at the front of the room.
(4) Know your UFID number and SECTION NUMBER prior to each test.
Each exam is worth 60 points in the course, but more than 60 points is usually on it. All exams, including the final
exam, are mandatory. The “Replacement Exam” is not a real exam but a copy of your Final exam grade and
replaces your lowest Semester Exam if it’s higher. Thus, the Final Exam always counts at least once but can
count twice it’s score is higher than your lowest Semester exam.
If you have to or think you might miss an exam or have an exam conflict please see the sections titled “Missed
Final Exam Policy” on page 8 and “Missed Semester Exam Policy” on page 9 .

Bonus Opportunities
Here are just some of the known “bonus opportunities”:
 After Drop/Add is over Mr. M may post a bonus assignment called “Assignment 0”. It will be worth 3
bonus points.
 There is actually 10.6 total points that can be earned by attending every day. You get to keep that extra
1.6 attendance point if you earn it.
 If you complete any part of a WebAssign homework before the 24 hours preceding its due date then the
scores you earn on those parts are weighted at 105% of their original weight, meaning you gain an extra
5% for completing homework early. Thus, it’s possible to earn 25.2 points for WebAssign assignments
and you get to keep that extra 1.2 points if you earn it.
 Exams will probably feature slightly more than 60 points so there is more opportunity to show what you
know and still make a great grade. Mr. M has not yet decided if he is capping exam credit at 60 or
allowing scores large than 60 to be earned on tests.
 There may be additional assignments which can earn you bonus points.
“Known” Penalties
Here are just some of the known “penalties”:
 Failure to sign the attendance sheet or sign it properly. If you forget to sign it then regardless of who
remembers you being here, you can’t get the attendance point. Don’t sign the attendance sheet in
someone else’s name space. That’s really annoying. You will be penalized one 0.1 course points for
every time you do this.
 Submitting scratch work, cross-word puzzles, and exams with missing names, UFID’s, and/or section
numbers will result in a loss of points either as part of the usual grade or as an additional penalty.
 Failure to follow explicitly written directions will result in a loss of points.
Incomplete Grades
A grade of I (incomplete) will be considered only if you meet the Math Department criteria which is found at
www.math.ufl.edu. If you meet the criteria you must see me before finals week to be considered for an I. An I
grade only allows you to make up your incomplete work, not redo your work. As Mr. M is an adjunct instructor
he cannot guarantee that he will be present 6 weeks into the following semesters, therefore Mr. M will only
agree to an incomplete if a student is willing and capable of completing their incomplete work between the end
of the current term and the start of the next.
Withdrawing From the Course
If you are contemplating a withdrawal from the course please feel free to come talk to Mr. M about your
progress in the course before making the official decision.

Trigonometry with Mr. Mahoney
Making up Assignments
Other than the Final Exam or Attendance Grades affected by long term absence Mr. M does not generally allow
for any makeup assignments. Midterm exams cannot be made up, only taken early or replaced. See the sections
“Missed Final Exam Policy” as well as “Missed Semester Exam Policy” below. All other situations will be dealt
with on a case-by-case basis. If you find yourself in a complicated situation please come discuss it with Mr. M.
Any points that you have lost but Mr. M deems eligible of being returned to you will only be returned to you at
the end of the semester and only if your final grade is changed by the return of these lost points. It is unlikely
that these points will be posted to CANVAS.
Extenuating Circumstances
Mr. M will allow for the following situations when dealing with a missed exam or continuous absence affecting
multiple assignments. These situations must be well documented, meaning that Mr. M should have some form
of paperwork which verifies that your individual situation is indeed one of the extenuating circumstances given
below. The documentation should include a contact number that Mr. Mahoney can use to validate your
documentation. The following list shall here forth be known as the “recognized extenuating circumstances” for
the remainder of this document.
- Death or Immediate Hospitalization of a Biological Parent or Parent by Marriage.
- Death or Immediate Hospitalization of a Legal Guardian [if not your Parent].
- Death or Immediate Hospitalization of a Sibling.
- Death or Immediate Hospitalization of a Child or Legal Dependent.
- Death or Immediate Hospitalization of a spouse or life-partner.
- The birth of your child or legal dependent [which usually involves some form of Immediate Hospitalization].
- Attendance at a University Sponsored Event such as a Performance, Conference, or Athletic Competition.
- A Court Imposed Legal Obligation.
Exam Time Conflicts
The UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA DURING TERM ASSEMBLY EXAM POLICY states:
"Exams may be held Monday -- Friday from 8:20 -- 10:10PM (periods E2--E3) for the fall and spring
terms. If other classes are scheduled during an exam time, instructors must provide make-up class work
for students who miss class because of an assembly exam. If two exams are scheduled at the same time,
assembly exams take priority over time-of-class exams. When two assembly exams conflict, the higher
course number takes priority. Instructors giving make-up exams will make the necessary adjustments."
See catalog.ufl.edu/ugrad/current/regulations/info/exams.aspx for additional details.
Missed Final Exam Policy
The Final Exam can be Made Up. If you know in advance, more than one week, that you are going to miss the
final exam due to a conflicting assembly final exam belonging to a higher course number or a “recognized
extenuating circumstances” then Mr. M will to let you take a Makeup Final Exam.
While Mr. M understands that you may have a Final Exam which conflicts with an event such as a Wedding or
Airplane Departure, these are not valid reasons for missing a final exam. Please do not schedule, or let others
schedule, the start of your summer vacation prior to the time of our final exam. A tentative date is provided in
this syllabus and you should not make any plans until you know the exact dates of your exams.

Trigonometry with Mr. Mahoney
Missed Semester Exam Policy
There are no Make-Up exams for any Semester Exam. Instead students may take an exam early or the let the
Replacement Exam replace their missed test. Please review the following scenarios:
(a) “I am going to miss one MAC1114 Semester Exam due to a conflicting assembly exam belonging to a
higher course number or one or more of the ‘recognized extenuating circumstances’ ” – You must contact
Mr. M at least one week in advance. You need to provide valid significant documentation with verifiable
contact information on it. Mr. M will try to let you take the semester exam early but you must do your
absolute best to comply with Mr. M’s tight schedule.
- If you take the exam early your entire exam will be collected and you will sign an additional honor code
agreement warning you that if you divulge information about the exam to other students you will face
discipline under the Student Conduct Code.
- If you do not take the exam early, your Replacement Exam will replace this missed exam’s score.
(b) “I missed the Exam because …” – If you miss an exam for any reason even a “recognized extenuating
circumstances” but you failed or were unable to contact Mr. M, prior to one week before the exam was
missed then your Replacement Exam will replace this missed exam’s score. However, you should still obtain
valid significant documentation with verifiable contact information for the situation that caused you to miss
the exam in the event you find yourself in scenario (c) which follows.
(c) “I missed two Exams because … or I’m going to miss a 2nd Exam because …” – In the event you have (1a)
missed two exams or (1b) you have missed one exam before and know that you are going to miss a second
exam and (2) both exam absences are due to a conflicting assembly exam belonging to a higher course
number and/or one or more of the “recognized extenuating circumstances” then you are eligible to have the
Replacement Exam Score Doubled as long as (3) you can provide valid significant documentation with
verifiable contact information for both missed exam events. The doubling of the Replacement Exam score
has the effect of allowing the Final Exam to count three times. This should be a RARE EVENT. If you find
yourself in this situation you should maintain excellent communication with Mr. M.
(d) “I missed or will miss all three semester exams.” – The policies listed for scenario (c) still hold but the
Replacement exam WILL NOT replace all three midterm exam regardless of the reasons for these absences.
Mr. M strongly urges you to meet with him, an academic advisor, a financial aid advisor, and any other
official U.F. advisors to evaluate whether you really can be successful in this course given that you are
experiencing life events that have caused you to miss approximately 51 percent of the course’s points.
Unclaimed Graded Papers
However you exit the course please obtain any graded papers you want to keep before exiting the course as Mr.
M destroys all papers belonging to students no longer enrolled in the course. Further, our WebAssign course is
only available until May 1, 2016 at which point access to grades inside WebAssign will no longer be possible.
Students with Disabilities
Students requesting classroom accommodation must first register with the Disability Resource Center. The Dean
of Students Office will provide documentation to the student who must then provide this documentation to me,
Mr. M, at Little 476, when requesting accommodation.

The conduct set forth hereinafter constitutes a violation of the Academic Honesty Guidelines (University of
Florida Rule 6C1-4.017).
Free Help
In addition to attending class and visiting me either during scheduled Office Hours or by appointment, the
following aids are available.
 The Teaching Center’s Math Study Center (known to many as the Math Lab), located at S.E. Broward
Hall, offers free informal tutoring. You may want to attend different hours to find the tutors with whom
you feel most comfortable. Go to www.teachingcenter.ufl.edu to find their hours. You can also request
free one-on-one tutoring.
 Textbooks and solutions manuals are located at the reserve desks at Norman Hall Library and Smathers
Library West.
 Private Tutors: If after availing yourself of these aids, you feel you need more help, you may obtain a list
of qualified tutors for hire at www.math.ufl.edu. Search “tutors”.
 The OFFICE OF ACADEMIC SUPPORT also offers free one-on-one and small group tutoring to UF
students. See oas.aa.ufl.edu/tutoring.aspx for details.
 The Counseling Center has some informative information on developing math confidence. Go to
http://www.counseling.ufl.edu/cwc/Developing-Math-Confidence.aspx for information on math
confidence and information on joining the Academic Confidence Group.
Instructor Evaluations
Students are expected to provide feedback on the quality of instruction in this course based on 10 criteria. These
evaluations are conducted online at https://evaluations.ufl.edu. Evaluations are typically open during the last
two or three weeks of the semester, but students will be given specific times when they are open. Summary
results of these assessments are available to students at https://evaluations.ufl.edu/results.
Hints for Typing Answer into WebAssign
The following lists “things to type” to produce certain expression in WebAssign “Calc Pad” boxes. These are
answer box that when you place your cursor into them a floating menu will appear named “Calc Pad”. While you
can use this menu to type expression, many of you may find the following shortcuts easier:
 Typing “pi” will produce a 𝜋 symbol.
 Typing a “/’ will produce a fraction with the cursor defaulting to the numerator (top). You can press the
“down” and “right” arrow keys to move from the top position to the bottom one.
 Typing “sqrt” will produce “√ “ or radical symbol with the cursor defaulting to underneath the radical.
 Typing “^” by pressing “shift” and “6” at the same time will change the cursor to the exponent position
of the previous symbol. Press the right arrow key to leave the exponent position.
