Math 25 Schedule

(including class schedule, important assignment deadlines, and links to study guidelines and exam descriptions)

Units: The course is divided into 9 units, as given in the table below. Study guidelines for completing each unit, along with detailed unit exam descriptions, are provided by clicking on the corresponding topic in the table below (some links may not be available yet).

This is a partially self-paced course, and for the most part you can proceed at your own pace. The "target" date listed for each unit in the table below is the recommended date for completion of each unit. This is designed to help you keep on track to complete the entire course by the end of the semester. However, each unit must be completed by the "deadline" date shown in the table below. If you have not taken the unit pretest and taken the proctored unit exam by this date, then you will receive 0 points that exam. Virtually no exceptions are granted for missing deadlines (see the deadline policy for details).

If you usually wait until the deadline dates to take the exams, you will probably do very poorly in the class. Try to work on the course every day on a regular basis, and plan to complete the units well before the deadline dates. That way you will not be caught with missing a deadline if you become ill or if an emergency arises.

There are also significant incentives for taking unit exams and pretests before the deadline date:

The proctored unit exams must be taken online in the presence of a designated proctor. See the proctored exam instructions for details.

Note that the class begins August 29 and ends December 16 (end of finals week). For best results, try to work according to the target dates as much as possible.


Final Exams: There will be two final exams, one on Trigonometry and one on Analytic Geometry, as shown in the following table. Study guidelines for each exam, along with detailed exam descriptions, are provided by clicking on the corresponding exam in the table below. The final exams are also proctored exams, but each exam can only be taken twice.
