TEXTBOOKS for DUAL ENROLLMENT CLASSES Students are responsible for obtaining the textbooks for math dual enrollment classes. Students will not be able to get the textbooks from the school for the 2010-2011 year. For College Algebra/College Trigonometry, this will be two textbooks – one for the first semester and another for second. For Calculus, this will be one textbook to be used both semesters.

During the school year, I will be available for tutoring in my classroom at 7:00 each morning and on several afternoons each week providing no other faculty commitment is scheduled. Contact me to schedule a meeting. Students will need a tutoring pass from me (may pick one up the day before in class) to be able to come to my class in the morning.
