Bennett and William L. Briggs, 8th edition)  \nISBN: 9780137576043  \nThrough the inclusive access program, you will have access to an e-book version of the course text, Using & Understanding Mathematics, A Quantitative Reasoning Approach, by Bennett and Briggs, the 8th edition and the online homework site, MyLab and Mastering. Inclusive Access is a program between the publisher and the UofU where the cost of your course materials is added to your tuition bill. This program reduces the cost of course materials for students because the purchase is made in bulk for all students in a course, rather than individually. The cost is $58 .82.  \nVideo lectures (supplemental material) are available through the Department of Mathematics.  \n[http://www.math.utah.edu/lectures/math1030.php](http://www.math.utah.edu/lectures/math1030.php)  \nPrerequisites: Starting in Summer 2021, the Math Department stopped using the prerequisitesto place students in math classes. Instead, the Math Department moved to informed self-placement and students are responsible for determining whether they are ready for the course they select. The current suggested prerequisites are listed below. These are still recommended as guidelines to determine if you have the background to be successful in this course:  \n• At least a C grade in Math 980 (or Math 1010), or  \n• Math ACT score of at least 19 , or  \n• Math SAT score ofat least 500 , or  \n• ALEKS score of at least 35-Math Informed Self Placement:  \n[http://www.math.utah.edu/undergraduate/placement.php](http://www.math.utah.edu/undergraduate/placement.php)  \nBefore enrolling for this class, you should be able to manipulate variable expressions, work with simple linear equations and graphs, work with fractions and exponents, and know the basic properties of simple geometric shapes.  \n(Note: Math 1030 does not satisfy a Math 1050 or Math 1090 prerequisite.)  \nCourse objectives: The Math 1030 course will fulfill the Quantitative Literacy (QL) general education requirement for graduation. The QL requirement is defined as “applying equations of different types to solve many different real-world problems in order to use and to evaluate information critically.”  \nThis course addresses the following Essential Learning Outcomes: inquiry and analysis, critical thinking, written and oral communication, quantitative literacy, teamwork, and problem solving.  \nMath 1030 is an application-based course centered around the use of mathematics to model changes in the real world, and the effective communication of these mathematical ideas. The course is based on Chapters 1-4, 8, and 9 of the textbook. We will follow this material closely in lectures, but the book is also a great resource for examples and reading material.  \nWeekly workload:  \nDuring the summer term, students are meeting with instructors for many hours each week. For our class, we have seven hours of lectures each week. Per university suggestions, that means that a student should plan on spending about 14 additional hours for this class every week (homework, additional studying, reviewing, project work, etc.) . This might not be the case for all students, as some will be able to get by on less, and some students will need more time.  \nLearning Objectives:  \n• use Venn diagrams to examine relationships between sets and the validity of simple deductive arguments  \n• use an appropriate sentence to describe both the absolute and percent change in a given quantity and interpret such statements about the change  \n• use simple and compound units, making conv","cbCaii3JBMIhx462","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaii3JBMIhx462","pdf",240221,14,"English","# Course Information\n## Schedule and Credits\n## Instructor Contact and Office Hours\n## Textbook, ISBN, and Inclusive Access\n## Video Lectures and Supplemental Materials\n# Enrollment Requirements\n## Prerequisites and Self-Placement\n# Course Goals and Outcomes\n## Quantitative Literacy Requirement\n## Essential Learning Outcomes\n# Weekly Workload and Course Structure\n## Weekly Coverage and Deadlines\n## ALEKS Assessment Tool\n## Attendance and Quizzes","[{\"question\":\"What are the lecture time and credit value for MATH 1030-2?\",\"answer\":\"The course is 3 credits with lectures meeting MTWTh 10–11:45am in FASB 295.\"},{\"question\":\"What prerequisites does Math 1030-2 recommend, and how does self-placement work?\",\"answer\":\"Students should be ready to manipulate variable expressions, solve simple linear equations and work with graphs, fractions and exponents, and basic geometric properties.
