Math 1314 – College Algebra

Brazosport College – Spring 2008

 

Semester Schedule and Work List

 

The schedule below is a tentative list of work for the semester.  While I intend to stick with this as closely as possible, it may change.  Each class day will not be used for lecture.  You are expected to watch the videos and complete the assigned problems outside of class.  Class time will be used for further practice, cooperative learning, and questions/answer sessions.  For each date list, watch the videos BEFORE you come to class.  For example, on January 23rd, you need to complete Lecture 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 before you come to class that day.  The assigned problems can be done either before or after that class day.
