processes and reasoning.
As a result of taking a course that meets GenEd Goal #5, students will:
Use mathematical symbols and mathematical structure to model and solve real world problems.
o Assessment On a class exam, quiz, and/or homework assignment, students will be asked to
demonstrate the use of trigonometric functions to model a real world problem.
Demonstrate appropriate communication skills related to mathematical terms.
o Assessment On a class exam, quiz, and/or homework assignment, students will be asked to
demonstrate appropriate communication skills related to the mathematical terms and concepts that are
associated with trigonometric functions.
Demonstrate the correct use of quantifiable measurements of real world situations.
o Assessment On a class exam, quiz, and/or homework assignment students will be asked to
demonstrate the correct use of quantifiable measurement for real world situations. For example, the
differences between degree measure and radian measure, the differences between period and
frequency, and the properties of inverse functions can each play an important role in physical
applications.
Course Learning Outcomes
A student who successfully completes this course should be able to:
Identify the differences between radian units of measure compared to degree units of measure for angles
Use the unit circle to derive values of the six trigonometric functions
Solve trigonometric equations
Define the six trigonometric functions
Apply the Law of Sines
Apply the Law of Cosines
Utilize trigonometric identities to reduce expressions
Define the proper inverse function in relation to a given trigonometric function
Instructional Methods
The primary method of instruction for this course will be lecture. Students are to have read the sections to be covered
each day prior to attending class. As a supplement to lecture, students should access additional materials on line via
Desire2Learn (D2L). Homework, announcements, discussions, and any other activities will be posted on D2L and should
be checked often. Homework will include both online and written sections. Students need to keep up with reading and
homework assignments; at least 1-2 hours of study outside of class are required for each 50 minutes of class time.
Freedom in Learning Statement
Under Board of Regents and University policy, student academic performance may be evaluated solely on an academic
basis, not on opinions or conduct in matters unrelated to academic standards. Students should be free to take reasoned
exception to the data or views offered in any course of study and to reserve judgment about matters of opinion, but they
are responsible for learning the content of any course of study for which they are enrolled. Students who believe that an
academic evaluation reflects prejudiced or capricious consideration of student opinions or conduct unrelated to academic
standards should contact the dean of the college which offers the class to initiate a review of the evaluation.

The faculty recognizes extracurricular activities to be a valued component of student development and education. When
an activity results in a classroom absence, the faculty members have agreed to accommodate students involved in these
activities in accordance with this policy.
Procedures:
1. Students who participate in recognized activities will notify their instructors prior to the absence.
2. Students will be given the opportunity to make-up any exams missed in the course of the absence.
3. Students will consult with their instructors regarding the make-up/submission of other graded activities that will be
missed as a consequence of the absence.
4. Recognized activities are those determined by the advisor of the sponsoring School of Mines organization or the
coach of the involved athletic team. If there are any questions, the advisor or coach should consult with the Vice
President for Student Affairs or Athletic Director.
5. All other arrangements (if allowable) for absences not covered under this policy must be decided through
consultation between the faculty member and the student, and/or under the guidelines of the class syllabus of the
instructor.
6. Unresolved issues may be taken up following the established School of Mines Grievance Procedure for Students
Policy III-A-31.
Recognized activities under this policy are determined by the School of Mines advisor/coach. Upon request or as a
standard process the advisor/coach may send an e-mail notice verifying the event.
From SDSM&T 2013 Catalog
http://ecatalog.sdsmt.edu/content.php?catoid=8&navoid=1302#Cheating__Academic_Integrity__Policy_
Cheating (Academic Integrity) Policy
High standards of academic honesty and intellectual integrity are essential to the success of our students and the
institution. The campus community will not tolerate acts of dishonesty in any academic activities at School of Mines. Such
acts jeopardize not only the individual student, but also the integrity and dignity of the institution and its members.
The South Dakota Board of Regents has clearly defined those acts that constitute violations of academic integrity (BOR
Policy 3.4.2.B.1). These acts include, but are not limited to, cheating, fraud, plagiarism, or knowingly furnishing false
information within the academic arena. These acts of dishonesty violate the ethical values the university works to instill in
all members of the campus community.
Faculty and administrators should consistently communicate the importance of academic integrity and ethical principles to
our students. In addition, all members of the campus community should take reasonable steps to anticipate, deter, and
confront acts of dishonesty in all areas of academics research, assignments, and exams. The instructor of record for
each course is responsible for clarifying the academic integrity standards for that course within the course syllabus.
The consequences for any act of academic dishonesty shall be at the discretion of the instructor of record, subject to due
process as outlined in BOR policy 3.4.3A. Sanctions may range from requiring the student to repeat the work in question
to failure in the course. To ensure fairness to all involved and to conform to South Dakota Board of Regents policies,
sanctions may be imposed only in accordance with the following procedure. In the following, the term student conduct
officer refers to the person appointed by the senior student affairs officer to consider cases of academic dishonesty, as
described in BOR Policy 3:4. Among other responsibilities, the Student Conduct Office is expected to maintain universitywide records on all actions related to student academic dishonesty.
An instructor who intends to hold a student accountable for an act of academic dishonesty must provide written
notification to the student and the Student Conduct Office within ten working days of the time the alleged violation
becomes known to the instructor. The written notification must include a description of the alleged violation, the
sanction(s) the instructor intends to impose, a statement notifying the student that he or she may request an informal
meeting with the instructor, and a statement describing the students due process rights. This notice may be in the form of
an email or the instructor of record may use the Academic Integrity Reporting Form available on the School of Mines
website.

Resolution of the allegation may be achieved in one of three ways:


1. The student admits responsibility and accepts the consequence(s) in writing. There shall be no subsequent
proceedings.
2. The student requests a meeting with the instructor of record within 10 working days of receiving the notification or
within the first 10 working days of the following semester, whichever is appropriate. At the request of either the
student or the instructor of record, a student conduct officer may be present. The purpose of the meeting would
be to dispose of the matter through mutual consent by the parties involved. If mutual agreement can be reached,
there shall be no subsequent proceedings. If mutual agreement cannot be reached, the matter is referred for
formal disposition.
3. The matter is resolved through formal disposition and therefore referred to the Student Conduct Office. Please
refer to BOR Policy 3:4 for specific procedures that will be followed for formal disposition.
Acts of Dishonesty
Acts of dishonesty, including, but not limited to, the following:
Cheating, which is defined as, but not limited to, the following:
o Use or giving of any unauthorized assistance in taking quizzes, test, or examinations
o Use of sources beyond those authorized by the instructor in writing papers, preparing reports, solving
problems, or carrying out other assignments
o Acquisition, without permission, of tests or other academic material belonging to a member of the
institutional faculty or staff
Plagiarism, which is defined as, but is not limited to, the following:
o The use, by paraphrase of direct quotation, of the published or unpublished work of another person
without full and clear acknowledgement consistent with accepted practices of the discipline
o The unacknowledged use of materials prepared by another person or agency engaged in the selling of
term papers or other academic materials
Other forms of dishonesty relating to academic achievement, research results, or academically related public
service
Furnishing information known or believed to be false to any institutional official faculty member, or office
Forgery, fabrication, alteration, misrepresentation, or misuse of any document, record, or instrument of
identification including misrepresentations of degrees awarded or honors received
