00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,581
Good afternoon, Students.

2
00:00:08,581 --> 00:00:16,958
Welcome to MTH 161: PreCalculus I

3
00:00:16,958 --> 00:00:29,000
My name is Samuel Dominic Chukwuemeka also known as SamDom For Peace.

4
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,206
Chukwuemeka is from the Igbo tribe.

5
00:00:32,206 --> 00:00:38,311
CHUKWU means GOD; Emeka means has done a lot.

6
00:00:38,311 --> 00:00:47,733
So, Chukwuemeka means that GOD has done a lot for me.

7
00:00:47,733 --> 00:00:50,342
In this class, we shall discuss

8
00:00:50,342 --> 00:00:57,871
Relations and Functions

9
00:00:57,871 --> 00:01:01,475
Under Functions, we shall study: Polynomials

10
00:01:01,475 --> 00:01:17,000
which includes the linear functions, quadratic functions, cubic functions, and higher-order functions.

11
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:26,427
Then, we shall discuss: rational functions, exponential functions, logarithmic functions

12
00:01:26,427 --> 00:01:36,197
And as you may know, functions could be expressions or equations.

13
00:01:36,197 --> 00:01:43,181
Lastly, we shall study Linear Systems

14
00:01:43,181 --> 00:01:54,623
where we shall use the Gauss-Jordan method to solve linear systems.

15
00:01:54,623 --> 00:01:59,153
This course is a lot of work

16
00:01:59,153 --> 00:02:03,062
Yes, it is a lot of work

17
00:02:03,062 --> 00:02:04,601
You will do a lot of work on your own.

18
00:02:08,300 --> 00:02:13,127
But, I am here to help you.

19
00:02:13,127 --> 00:02:21,334
The course is a flipped-classroom model.

20
00:02:21,334 --> 00:02:27,503
I'm going to provide resources for you on each section or topic

21
00:02:27,503 --> 00:02:39,028
Then, you review these resources

22
00:02:39,028 --> 00:02:49,217
and attend the Student Engagement Hours and Live Sessions that will be held every week

23
00:02:49,217 --> 00:02:53,670
During those sessions, you will ask questions

24
00:02:53,670 --> 00:03:02,221
on whatever you do not understand on the resources

25
00:03:02,221 --> 00:03:17,160
The sessions are highly recommended but not required

26
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:21,388
We have three types of assessments for the class:

27
00:03:21,388 --> 00:03:27,098
The MyMath Lab assignments

28
00:03:27,098 --> 00:03:34,129
The project...one project

29
00:03:34,129 --> 00:03:40,087
and the discussion board...the weekly discussion board

30
00:03:40,087 --> 00:03:50,819
My communication lines are open

31
00:03:50,819 --> 00:03:52,962
You can come and talk to me, see me, speak with me during the sessions

32
00:03:52,962 --> 00:04:00,779
every week

33
00:04:00,779 --> 00:04:13,642
You can send an email to me

34
00:04:13,642 --> 00:04:32,399
You can also text me at my Google Voice number any day any time

35
00:04:32,399 --> 00:04:43,787
If you want a fast response, then I suggest you use my Google Voice number

36
00:04:43,787 --> 00:04:49,377
If the day and time for the sessions is not convenient for you,

37
00:04:49,377 --> 00:04:59,179
please send an email to me using your school email

38
00:04:59,179 --> 00:05:09,726
I shall respond.

39
00:05:09,726 --> 00:05:16,902
Please visit the course website and review every information there.

40
00:05:16,902 --> 00:05:22,362
Also, on the Canvas course, please review every information there.

41
00:05:22,362 --> 00:05:29,340
Let us work together for success.

42
00:05:29,340 --> 00:05:31,372
Have a great day!!!
