The description of the class as well as many useful materials is available in the department's webpage: Math 05 Description. The departmental syllabus is available here: Departmental MTH 05 syllabus. You might also find useful the Math Department Website, though Your Mileage May Vary.

We will be using MTH 05 Lecture Notes, by Prof. Andrew McInerney The textbook is freely available. You can get a copy suitable for printing here: Textbook file suitable for printing, while a copy more suitable for use in electronic devices is here: Textbook file with links suitable for electronic devices. Students in the class are required to download the book and have an electronic or hard copy with them during class.

Homework handouts will be given at the end of each class, and will be collected at the beginning of the next class. The class will be divided into groups, and each group will be responsible for presenting selected homework problems in the blackboard. Your homework grade, which counts for 13% of your overall grade, will be based on completion of the homework plus the presentation of your group.

Besides the homework that counts for 13% of your grade there will be four in-class exams each counting for 13% of your grade. The final exam for this class, like all Elementary Algebra classes throughout CUNY, is the CUNY Elementary Algebra Final Examination, and counts for 35% of your grade. You can find more information about the CEAFE here: CUNY Testing

In sum:

In order to pass this class your overall grade needs to be 70 or more.
