Welcome to Collin County Community College District's Beginning Algebra Course,
Online! This course is offered in a modified self-paced format.
This means you may complete any of the assignments or exams prior to the
calendar date deadlines.
(Is
this online class right for you?)
I am Dr. Karr and will be your professor for Math 0305. Most of this
course will be communicated via computer. However, ALL 4 EXAMS
(bring a scantron) and the final
examination (bring blue book and scantron to the final exam) are scheduled on campus in the
SCC TESTING
CENTER. At those times, you will need to come to campus.
All
lab assignments are due by 5 p.m. on the stated day of the indicated week. The
exams need to be taken at least 1 hour prior to the Testing Center closing.
Please
email me to let me know you have completed the exam. I will pick it
up, grade it,
and forward your grade.
For Math0305, you will need the following textbook, MyMathLab student access code, instructor provided course code, and a
graphing calculator. (Note: There is a CD Lecture Series available which provides
computer video lectures of each topic).
ISBN 0-536-440093 for package
1) Text:
Introductory Algebra by Elayn
Martin-Gay, Prentice-Hall Publishers, 3rd Edition. (Click
here for a video introduction.) You need Window Media Player to view the video.
If you have DSL, it might take up to 3 minutes to download this video
file. A dial up connection is not recommended.
Click here to download a free
Window Media Player 10.
2) CD: Lecture series comes packaged with the textbook.
This is an important resource.
3) MyMathLab, a computerized software tutorial,
can be accessed with the code that comes packaged with the textbook.
Be sure to get the COURSE code from your instructor before using the MyMathLab
registration instructions with the
link on the left. That document contains detailed steps
regarding registering for
the computerized homework. Although homework is not collected, this gives the
student valuable explanations of some of the material.
4) Because there are
problems on your assignment sheet that are not contained in the
computerized product, I
encourage you to do the homework on the homework
assignment sheet found through the link on the left.
5) The 10 labs assigned for a grade are NOT
on the MyMathLab website. They are meant to provide 10 points of
contact with your instructor.
6) Graphing Calculator: A TI-83/Plus or TI-84 is preferred. |
For your reference, this is a great
graphing calculator website:http://www.msubillings.edu/asc/graphing_calculators.htm
Note: If AOL is your ISP, minimize the AOL screen and use Internet
Explorer 4.0 or Netscape 4 or higher.
Please read through the syllabus and calendar. Then, email
me and let me know that you are enrolled in the course. All future
announcements will be sent to you via email. I hope this will be a successful
semester for you. If I can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to
contact me. rkarr@ccccd.edu or phone 972-881-5865.
All lab assignments are due by 5p.m. on or before the stated
day of the indicated week.
You have 4 ways to submit work.

ONLY if these options do not work for you, fax to
972-516-5006. You MUST have my name at the top of each page since
this is a shared fax machine.
If you need help, use your CD, go to the Math Lab, or contact your
instructor by email rkarr@ccccd.edu or phone
972-881-5865. I hope this will be a successful semester for you. If I can be of
