REQUIRED TEXT:
Geometry by Bass, Charles, Johnson, and Kennedy - Prentice Hall COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This is a formal course in Geometry covering the basics of lines, planes,
angles, triangles and congruence, the Pythagorean Theorem, similarity, and
special right triangles. The methods of deductive reasoning will be studied in
depth. PREREQUISITE:
A grade of C or better in Mat152A and Mat152B, or satisfactory score on an
assessment test. Mat152B may be taken concurrently. REGISTRATION: 1. You must register for
this class at the Office of Admissions and Records. 2. The last day to drop the
class with no record is Friday, January 29th. 3. The last day to drop the
class for a "W" grade is Friday, February 19th. 4. After February 19th, if
you are enrolled, you will receive one of the following grades: A B C D F or I
(Incomplete, is only allowed in special cases). In this class, it is your

following exam. For Chapter Exams and the Final, make-up is possible, but
there is a 10% penalty if the absence is not excused and must be worked
out with the teacher beforehand. Homework will be accepted late for minus
two points per class day. STUDENT LEARNING
OUTCOMES: 1. Prove geometric
statements using classical axioms and theorems. 2. Perform ruler and
compass constructions. 3. Make deductions using
the rules of logic. 4. Solve problems involving
parallel lines, triangles, and angles. HOW TO SUCCEED IN A
MATH CLASS: 1) Come to every
class meeting. 2) Arrive early, get
yourself settled and be ready when class starts. Sit where you won't be distracted. 3) Read each section
before it is discussed in class. 4) Do all of the
homework. 5) Do some math every
day. 6) Start preparing for
tests at least a week in advance. 7) Take advantage of
tutors and office hours, extra help can make a big difference. 8) Do some review
every time you study math. 9) Be willing to ask
questions. 10) Take notes. 11) Study in groups
and find a study buddy. TUTORING:
Tutoring is available in the Gateway Math Center. The phone number is 541-4660
