Compass Honors High School

Course Description:
This is a single course equivalent to College Algebra (Math 143) and Trigonometry (Math 144). Credit hours are not granted in both Math 143 and Math 147 or in both Math 144 and Math 147. Math 143 and Math 144 may be taken concurrently in lieu of Math 147.

Outcomes Assessment:
In-class participation, daily homework assignments, chapter tests, and a comprehensive final exam will be used to assess how well students achieve the course objectives. Daily homework assignments and in-class participation will be used as formative assessments measuring students’ emerging understanding of concepts. Chapter tests and final exam will be used as summative assessments measuring students’ mastery of concepts. These assessments plus informal feedback and student evaluations will be analyzed to help improve curriculum and instruction for the course.

It is essential that you participate in the educational process. I expect you to be attentive, ask questions, and participate in open discussion in class. If you need extra help on any topic or assignment I expect you to seek help in a timely manner.
Homework should be completed the day it is assigned. If you procrastinate it is more likely that you will not remember how to complete it. Homework will be due the following class period unless I decide it would be better to give extra time to complete the work so the class can get a fuller understanding of the concept.
Math Lab is provided each week after school so you can come in for extra help on any concept or assignment. Occasionally, appointments can be made for additional help sessions. I expect you to take the initiative and get the help you need in order to pass this course.
No late work will be accepted. You are responsible to get your assignments completed and handed in on time. Makeup work for absences are due as outlined in the student handbook.
Cheating will result in an automatic zero for that assignment or test. Even worse than the zero grade will be the loss of my trust in you.

Hello, my name is Linette Gregg and I teach mathematics at Compass Honors High School. I am so excited by teaching and interacting with students that it is a joy to come to work each day! My teaching experience includes 14 years at Hagerman High School, 5 years at Filer High School, and 4 years as Dual Credit Instructor for College of Southern Idaho. I am also a member of the Adjunct Math Faculty for College of Western Idaho and am happy to be teaching dual credit courses for CWI at Compass. This year is going to be a great one!
