This is the ultimate mathematics course. We will cover everything from Algebra I and work our way up to Calculus concepts with some great discussions along the way. Mathematics is a language and if you can become fluent in it (which if you complete this course, I promise you will be!), then that is simply one more step in your great knowledge bank. Thus, if you are going to sign up for this course, please ask yourself these questions first:

  • Will you give it your all?
  • Will you stay with the course and not give up halfway through?
  • Are you really interested in learning the language of mathematics?

If you can answer these questions confidently with a yes, then I will see you at the orientation session!

Coursework will consist of assignments and lectures, with a test at least once a week. Those who are actually participating in this course should be independent and motivated learners. Completion of most of the coursework in this class requires a very decent command of the English language.

Grades will be based on participation, work ethic, and exam scores. If at anytime, you would like to know what your current grade is, please just send me a message on my talk page and I will give you a full report of where you stand in the course. The grade scale for this course is as such:

  • A = 100% - 93%
  • B = 92% - 85%
  • C = 84% - 74%
  • D = 73% - 64%
  • F = 63% - 0%

I will always be available at anytime to answer questions that you may have. If you need help, you can simply just post to my talk page or on the course talk page. Alternatively, you can message me on Skype at the address of austinteacher.

Course Outline [edit]

To participate in this, please just leave your name in the class roster below and you will be sent a message explaining what to do. This course will be given out in lessons through a virtual classroom where you will have assignments, quizzes, and tests given out to you. These will be graded through Engrade and sent back to you.

Also, you may notice that some weeks seem to be duplicated. Please know that this is not the case, but it basically means that we will be going up levels in those concepts. As you can see, they are the same main ideas, but you will be learning new things in each week.
