Murphy101 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 For maths, do you give a description or is just the text enough? IOW, is the course title self descriptive enough to suffice or would you do as I did in the second example? I'm rying to make the course description sheet as efficient, yet suitable, as possible. TIA!

Myra Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Geometry: Seeing, Doing, Understanding Author: Harold Jacobs Publisher: W. H. Freeman; 3 edition ISBN-10: 0716743612 This text remains proof-based while providing a traditional approach to geometry with many sample problems within the lessons that are actual examples of SAT problems, and every chapter focuses on guided discovery to help students develop geometric intuition. Pre-Requisite: Algebra I. Table of Contents: 1. An Introduction to Geometry 2. The Nature of Deductive Reasoning 3. Lines and Angles 4. Congruence 5. Inequalities 6. Parallel Lines 7. Quadrilaterals 8. Transformations 9. Area 10. Similarity 11. The Right Triangle 12. Circles 13. The Concurrence Theorems 14. Regular Polygons and the Circle 15. Geometric Solids 16. Non-Euclidean Geometries That's what I'm thinking of doing. Myra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Geometry Text: Geometry, 2e, by Harold R. Jacobs. This course covers a full range of Euclidean geometry topics including: points, lines, planes, rays, angles, congruent triangles, inequalities, parallel lines, quadrilaterals, transformations, area, similarity, the right triangle, circles, regular polygons, and geometric solids. An emphasis was placed on writing proofs. Similar here but without the chapter numbers, just a list of topics. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy101 Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Okay. Off to write up a course description as so far it looks like just the course title and text isn't enough. I didn't think it would be, but a gal can always hope.:) Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Math are the easy ones--just look at the table of contents and make a quick list. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy101 Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Hey, since I'm here.. I don't suppose anyone already has a written course description of lials introductory algebra they'd care to share? Again, can't hurt to ask and hope!:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murphy101 Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Thanks! Found one specificly for lials intro to algebra - perfect! Man, I heart the internet!:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 My math course descriptions are in this thread: Course descriptions for *math* courses? I didn't include the textbook name in the course description rather I included a textbook list along with a reading list.
