Algebra 2 with Trigonometry Semester 2: Chapters 7-14 (Flexible Schedule)

This is a flexible schedule class, which means there are no scheduled live meetings. I will upload videos as YouTube links every Monday morning to the Outschool classroom page that students will watch on their own time throughout the week. We will cover about one chapter of material every two weeks. 

Students will watch the video lessons and complete homework assignments for each chapter. Answer keys and worked solutions will be provided so students can self-check their homework. Chapter tests will be assigned for each chapter that I will grade (with feedback!) and return. Students can message me with questions at any time, and I will answer with a step-by-step video explanation or written explanation as soon as I can! 

Each week, I will start a discussion thread for a half-chapter (14 total) on the Outschool classroom page. This thread is meant for students to ask questions about and discuss homework problems with each other and with me. As a way to keep the discussion alive throughout the course, students will be required to post at least 1 comment per discussion thread. This post has to be related to the chapter and can be a question, an answer to someone else's question, or just a comment about something interesting that they learned during that chapter. Participation in discussions will count towards the student's participation grade, which will be 15% of their grade for the course. The other 85% of the grade will come from the 7 tests that the student takes and submits throughout the course. 

I will be running the class through the Outschool classroom page, but students will need access to YouTube to be able to click the video links and watch the lessons. 

The pre-requisites for this course are the completion of pre-algebra, algebra 1,  geometry, and the first semester of algebra 2 with trigonometry.

If you haven't taken the first semester of algebra 2 yet, I also offer an "Algebra 2 with Trigonometry Semester 1: Chapters 1-6 (Flexible Schedule)" class. If you'd like to take both classes over one semester, you can sign up for both and just work through the material twice as fast. 

Thank you so much for considering my class! I hope to see you in the classroom!
