MATH1314.30 - College Algebra
Instructor: Misty Hamner
Email: mhamner@nctc.edu


Course Description: The syllabus for this course, in terms of objectives to be learned, is the same as our traditional classroom College Algebra course. Students should expect to spend at least twelve hours per week on this course (viewing lectures, doing homework, studying, etc.) Grades will be based on four semester exams, a comprehensive final exam, weekly questions and homework. Exams will be taken at any of NCTC’s three campuses or proctored by an accepted off-campus source. (See course syllabus for details.) The two primary vehicles through which students will access the course are ANGEL, and Thinkwell.com’s online College Algebra text.

ANGEL is the main online course communication tool used by NCTC. Upon registration in the course, the student will be given access to the course ANGEL site. The ANGEL site will provide the student with course information such as the syllabus, assignments and due dates, exam dates, etc. This is the instructor’s main vehicle of communication to the class.

Thinkwell’s College Algebra Text: The text for the course is entirely computer based i.e. there will be no hard-copy other than what students choose to print. With the purchase of this product, the student will receive CDs which contain all the video lectures for the course as well as some necessary software for linking with other functions of the product, and a registration number that will enable the student to access the online portions of the text. Upon registration at Thinkwell’s Website, students will have access to the text as customized for this particular course at NCTC i.e. only the sections we will be covering will be listed and available to students. Rather than attending classes and lectures from Mrs. Hamner, students will view video lectures by Prof. Edward Burger on CD. This will be like viewing lectures from the actual author of the text. Homework assignments will be accessed, answered, and turned in, through Thinkwell.com online. Students will also have access to notes corresponding to the video lectures via Thinkwell’s Website. Visit www.thinkwell.com to learn more or to purchase the text. (Text may also be purchased at an NCTC bookstore.)

Orientation includes information on the syllabus, schedule, reading and homework assignments, examinations, grading policy, and detailed instruction on how to use and navigate ANGEL. You must complete the orientation module the first day of the semester. If for any reason, you are unable to complete the orientation during this time frame, you must contact your instructor. Failure to do so may cause you to be dropped from the class. Course orientation will be available on the first day of classes through your ANGEL account.

What you will need:

  • Access to a computer with Internet and email capability.
  • Average level computer skills and familiarity with the Internet and email.
  • Average of 20 - 25 hours per week to invest in the course.
  • Required Textbook.
  • Microsoft® Word® or Works® installed on your computer

What you will be provided:

  • ANGEL account for course communication.

Method of Evaluation: There will be 15 labs (30%), 3 papers (20%), 5 online quizzes (20%) and an online final exam (20%). Also, 10% of the class will come from online interaction – 16 unit discussion questions. There are no in-person requirements during this class.

Other notes: This class can be done quicker than 5 weeks, but assignments are due weekly. This class has a strict NO LATE ASSIGNMENT policy. You must be willing to do work on time – but there are options to get ahead. Assignments are due every 2-3 days, and assignments not turned in by 11:59 pm on the night it is due will receive a 0. This class is very writing intensive due to the online nature of the class. Students should feel comfortable writing 3-5 pages a unit (2-3 days) to successfully complete this class. If both classes fill up, and there is a significant demand, you can email the instructor to get into the online version of the classes.

Workload Warning: Students that are taking this class while working a full-time job are generally unsuccessful during the short 5-week period. A traditional class requires attending class four days a week for approximately three hours a day with three hours of homework per night. This class will expect the same rigorous requirement. With assignments due every 2-3 days, it is important to have plenty of time to devote to the class.
