Course Schedule
Any adjustments to this course schedule, including class sessions, content, and assignments, will be announced during class. If you miss class, it is your responsibility to find
out about any changes prior to the next class.
Though your instructor will provide an overview of the concepts and skills in each chapter, most of your learning will take place when you use the Hawkes Learning Systems
(HLS) courseware that came with your textbook.
Optional Practice assignments are from Prealgebra, fourth edition, by D. Franklin Wright. In case of an occasional emergency need (e.g. computer problem) this assignment
will be accepted for homework credit. Assignments begin on the indicated pages. Notations “odd, eoo, eto” indicate the exercises assigned for homework practice as follows: 17 odd = 1, 3, 5, 7; 1-9 eoo (every other odd) = 1, 5, 9; 1-13 eto (every third odd) = 1,7,13. No notation indicates “all” as in 1-4 = 1, 2, 3, 4.
“Writing and Thinking about Mathematics” and “Preview & Outline” assignments (from textbook) are not optional.
These assignments may not provide enough practice for you. Whether or not your instructor adds to the assignments, you may want to take advantage of additional practice
problems in your textbook and/or on the course software.
