Tests:
Six graded tests are administered over the semester. Students are allowed one attempt
on each test and must be completed in one sitting. If a student leaves the classroom during a
test, the test will be collected and graded. Tests must be taken on the day they are given or
previous arrangements must be made prior to the test day.
If you miss an exam you must
contact me within 24 hours of the missed exam to arrange for a time to make up the
exam. Exams must be made up within 72 hours of the original exam time. If you do not
contact me within 24 hours, a grade of 0 will be entered for the exam that was missed.
Students are only allowed to make up ONE exam per course. The exam grade will be
docked 10% per day for late points.
Cheating on tests will not be tolerated.
If you are
caught cheating, that will result in an automatic 0 for the exam.
A = 90-100%
B = 80-89%
C = 70-79%
D = 60-69%
Classroom Policies:
•
Respect is to be shown towards the instructor and fellow students in the classroom.
•
Attendance and participation is expected. You are responsible for the activities of each class
period. If you know of a conflict ahead of time, you are welcome to submit assignments early.
•
Show up to class on time and be prepared (pencil, notebook, calculator, etc).
•
Learning activities and evaluation will occur in the MyMathLab learning system and requires
Internet connectivity.
•
Electronic Devices:
Silence cellular phones, pagers, CD players, radios, and similar devices
in the classroom and laboratory facilities. If this is an IVN course, cell phone must be turned off
at all times in class! I will not tolerate texting, playing games, watching videos or anything else
that is disruptive to the class and others around you. You will be asked once to put the phone
away, if asked again you will be asked to leave. (If you are expecting an important phone call,
please inform me before class.)
•
Do NOT wear headphones during class or tests. They are not allowed.
•
The syllabus is a living document that is subject to change. All assignments will be confirmed
during the class prior to their due date. The instructor reserves the right to allow the class
agenda to fluctuate as the course progresses.
