Fall 2018 Course Syllabi

Homework Assignments: All homework assignments will be done in MyMathLab. These are graded assignments that can be done multiple times. Only the highest score will be used. These assignments close at 11:59 PM, Central Daylight Time on the night before the corresponding chapter test. Do the work well in advance. If the assignment is done after the posted due date, 30% will be deducted from your score. 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). • 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. 30% Homework 70% Tests 100%
