    Prerequisite Course(s): Advanced Algebra 245
    Course Overview
    Trigonometry is a semester course, which will cover numerous topics such as
    angles and their trigonometric functions, trigonometry of the right angle, reference
    angles, graphs of the six trigonometric functions, identities, trigonometric equations, and
    oblique triangles. This course continues the job of building algebraic and geometric
    skills. Graphing calculators (TI-84) will be used to enhance and facilitate the
    understanding of solutions to problems.

    Student Learning Expectations


    a. Student will understand a variety of problem-solving methods and decisionmaking strategies.
    b. Student will communicate carefully, thoughtfully, and effectively.
    c. Student will be able to compile, interpret and communicate data and draw
    logical conclusions.
    d. Student will be able to compute and apply advanced mathematical concepts.
    e. Students will be able to write their solutions in a clear and logical manner.

    Expected Outcomes
    Understand the concepts of Trigonometry and how they apply to real-life scenarios.

    Grading Policies
    Grades will be calculated quarterly using a total points system. A numeric grade will be
    submitted as a percentage of the total points earned. Grades will be rounded to one
    decimal place, without exception. A grade of 89.9% will NOT be rounded to 90.
    Generally, quizzes and writing assignments will range from 10-40 points. Tests will
    range from 40-100 points. Homework will be assigned regularly but will not be graded.
    Homework completion is essential to success, but will not factor into the quarterly grade.
