\begin{description}

\item[{\bf Instructor:}]  Blake Thornton, Building 122 (room \#102), 581-4027

\item[{\bf Email:}]  thornton@math.utah.edu  
(this is probably the best way to get ahold of me)

\item[{\bf Office Hours:}] Tuesday 11-11:50 (in the tutoring center),
Wednesday 11-11:50 in my office, or by appointment.
Unfortunately, I think I will have a class directly following our class
almost every day.

\item[{\bf Text:}]  Precalculus: Functions and Graphs

\item[{\bf Prerequisites:}] Math 105

\item[{\bf Course Description:}] Chapters 4-6, 10-11 of the text.

\item[{\bf Tutoring:}] 
Free tutoring is available in room 241 of Building 129 (East of JWB.)
This is open 8:50-4:10 and 6-7 pm.

\item[{\bf Homework:}] 
Homework is assigned for every section.
This in only a guide.
You may want to do more then the suggested problems.

\item[{\bf Graphing Calculator}]  
You will need a graphing calculator for this class.
You are required to know how to use the calculator for the homework and tests.
(I am not a calculator help source, but do know a bit.)

\item[{\bf Grades:}]  
There will be 4 or 5 in class exams (50 minutes) and a final:
The final will be worth 30\% of the grade and the remaining 70\% will
be weighted equally between the 5 (or 4) exams.

\begin{tabular}{llllll}
14\% & {\bf Test 1} & Friday & Apr 10 \\
14\% & {\bf Test 2} & Friday & Apr 17 \\
14\% & {\bf Test 3} & Friday & May 8 \\
14\% & {\bf Test 4} & Friday & May 22 \\
14\% & {\bf Test 5} & Friday & May 29 & (Tentative) \\
30\% & {\bf FINAL EXAM} & Wednesday & June 10 & 12:45-2:45 \\
\end{tabular}

\item[{\bf Pet Peeves}]
These are some things that will really bug me if you do them:
\begin{enumerate}
\item  Not knowing where the tutoring office is (Building 129)
\item  Not knowing where my office is
\item  Pens on exams, especially red ones
\item  Not telling me before you miss an exam
\item  Needing another date to take the final
	(you know the date and its 10 weeks away).
\end{enumerate}
