Course Requirements:
This
course will be taught using a systematic approach to instruction—that is,
each assignment builds on previous assignments. If you do half-hearted work in
Chapter 1, you may have difficulty in the next chapter and be lost in following
chapter. It is very important that you master each unit of instruction. Attendance
in class and completion of chapter homework and exercises is the key to
successful completion of the course.
College Attendance Policy:
Students who are absent from class more than one eighth of a course without the
instructor’s permission shall be withdrawn. Three (3) tardies to class will have the
equivalence of one (1) absence.
Notes:
This course is not designated as university transfer course in some major areas.
