Course Syllabus:
District Syllabus For This course is designed for the student who either has had no algebra or has very little knowledge of the subject
as determined by placement testing. Topics to be covered will include sets; order of operations with rational numbers;
simplifying and evaluating variable expressions; solving linear equations; inequalities and related word problems;
laws of exponents; operations with polynomials; factoring; some algebraic fractions; quadratic equations; radicals;
and introduction to graphing. We will use the following book: Gustafson-Frisk. Beginning & Intermediate Algebra. 3rd ed. Brooks/Cole.

the course work, as determined by the instructor, and the Florida Basic Skills Exit Test, which will be given during
the final exam time. Below are the policies for these courses: This comprehensive course will give students a review of fundamental algebraic operations. The student will
learn to evaluate and simplify polynomial expressions, solve equations and inequalities, factor, and solve a variety
of word problem applications. At the end of the course the student will be able to: Evaluation of student progress towards achieving the stated learning outcomes and performance objectives is
