Elementary and Intermediate Algebra
Daily Schedule
Below is a sample daily schedule. This is only a
suggestion. As long as you cover the sections indicated
during the semester, you may structure the organization of the course as you
wish.
You may want to combine some days to allow for a review day before an exam.
