  1. Math 25Trigonometry Three Options in Spring 2012: MATH-25-E0861 (030861) College Trigonometry MATH-25-E0862 (030862) College Trigonometry MATH-25-E1185 (031185) College Trigonometry

  2. Three Options – Here are the main differences Daytime Section(E0861) • MTWTh 10:05-11:10am,in PS 120 • 4 days/week • 1 hour, 5min each class session • Teacher: to be determined Evening “hybrid” Section(E1185) • MW 6:05-7:30pm (PS 117) + other work on your own • 2 days/wk in class • + additional work online • Teacher: Tami Matsumoto Evening Regular Section(E0862) • MW 6:05-8:10pm, in PS 117 • 2 days/week in class • 2 hours per class session • Teacher: Tami Matsumoto

  3. There is one daytime section of Math 25 Trigonometry: MATH-25-E0861 (030861) The Daytime Section is . . . • … scheduled for 4 days/wk (MTWTh) • … in the morning (10:05-11:10 am) • … teacher to be determined • ... in PS room 120 • … and is a “regular” 4-day-a-week math class.

  4. The “Hybrid” Section MATH-25-E1185 (031185) MW 6:05pm - 7:30pm, in PS Room 117 Plus online work (Days TBA, Times TBA) because this is a “hybrid” section – part in-class and part online. The “Regular” Section MATH-25-E0862 (030862) MW 6:05pm – 8:10pm, inPS Room 117 That’s it. Because this is a “regular” classroom section. Just in class. Twice a week, 2 hours each time. There are two evening sections of Math 25 Trigonometry.Both meet MW at 6:05pm in PS 117! They “overlap” in this special hybrid-hybrid Math 25 optional format:

  5. Three different classes of Math 25 Different formats of delivery, but ALL are MATH 25 … so … … it’s the SAMEGREATMATH no matter which way you go!

  6. Math 25 and Math 30 make up “Pre-Calculus” at CR • At College of the Redwoods, both Math 25 and Math 30 are prerequisites for Calculus (Math 50A). • Both Math 25 and Math 30 are taught with the expectation that students in Math 25 and Math 30 are preparing to continue on to take Calculus later. • Math 25 and Math 30 can be taken in either order (either one can be taken first), and some students choose to take them both in the same semester. • If you are not planning to take Calculus, and if you are only taking Math 25 for G.E., you might enjoy taking Trigonometry just for fun! Or … you might consider taking a different math class instead.

  7. What are the main differences between the morning and evening sections? • Morning section: • Earlier in the day (some people do better with math classes earlier in the day – some people don’t) • Shorter classes – so less math to digest each time • meet more often – have to attend 4 days a week • Scheduled teacher is to be determined • Same textbook – either 7th or 8th edition can be used • Both the Evening sections: • Later in the day (some people do better later in the day – or do not have a choice due to work schedules or whatnot) • Longer class periods – which can make learning difficult because you get more in each class • meet less often – so, potentially fewer trips to campus • Scheduled to be taught by Tami Matsumoto • Same textbook – can use 6th or 7th or 8th edition

  8. What are the differences between the two evening sections? • “Hybrid” section: • Less time in class • More work required on your own • “Regular” section: • More time in class. • More time for examples and questions in class. The “hybrid” class goes to 7:30. The “regular” class goes till 8:10 pm – basically 40 minutes longer each Monday and Wednesday.

  9. Differences between the two evening sections, continued • “Hybrid” section: • part in-class and part online • a lot of required online work that students must do, outside of class, on their own time, on a computer, doing lots of assignments using OPTIMATH (our online math testing system). • “Regular” section: • some online assignments, but not nearly as many – mostly just for supplemental practice.

  10. Differences between the two evening sections, continued • “Hybrid” section: • Exams are all taken online, in the ASC, outside of scheduled class time. So you must block out other times in your schedule during ASC open hours, to take exams. • “Regular” section: • Exams will be given on paper, in a traditional way, during class time (unless there are take-home exams).

  11. Differences between the two evening sections, continued • “Hybrid” section: • Exams can be taken more than once, as long as they are not taken on the same day, and not past the deadline. So if you are not happy with your score, and still have at least another day before the deadline, you could re-take the exam. The higher (or highest) score counts – not the last score. • “Regular” section: • Exams can only be taken once

  12. Differences between the two sections, continued • “Hybrid” section: • With the online exams, you might work out a whole problem on pages of paper, and if you make one mistake, you would get it wrong. • “Regular” section: • With the paper exams, partial credit is possible.

  13. A note about the Evening sections If you registered for either of the evening sections, … … since they both meet MW at 6:05, we will all meet together when the semester begins. You will have opportunities to switch to the other section during the first week of classes, if you choose to do so. So you do not have to decide which one to take right now … you can sign up for either one now.

  14. A note about the Evening sections, continued • If you do not think either of the evening sections will suit you, then you should register for the morning section instead. • Additionally, ... if you are NOT planning to continue on to take Calculus, then you might like to consider a completely different Math course instead, such as Math 15 or Math 5, depending on your needs.

  15. “myCR,” textbook, and Optimath (oh, my!) • “myCR” online course management system might be used to disseminate information about the course • Textbook: Algebra & Trigonometry, by Michael Sullivan • OPTIMATH: (Online Practice and Testing In Mathematics) will be used for some of the online math practice and testing

  16. Textbook:Algebra & Trigonometry, by Michael Sullivan(Note: At CR, the same textbook is used for both Math 25 and Math 30)

  17. Additional Materials • A Graphing Calculator is required (for both Math 25 and Math 30)TI-83 or TI-84 recommendedNOTE: There are a limited number of graphing calculators available for rent from the Math Dept ($20 per semester). • A Bound Notebook is required for the Evening Sections (not sure about the morning section)In addition to the textbook, you will need to get a Bound Notebook with grid paper (such as a “Comp Book” – but make sure it has GRID (or GRAPH) paper in it -- NOTE: CR bookstore usually sells these for about $2, and Staples occasionally has these on sale for $1 or so.

  18. Additional Information • The Math Department has a webpage for each math course. The page for Math 25 is: http://msenux.redwoods.edu/mathdept/courses/math25.php • In particular, you might like to read "Student Information and Help Resources"on that page.

  19. Additional Information • Contact Tami Matsumoto if you would like more information • Email: tami-matsumoto@redwoods.edu • Phone: (707) 476-4543 • Office: Room PS 102, in the Physical Sciences Building at CR’s main Eureka campus
