Electronic Devices
Turn off (or mute) cell phones, pagers or other electronic devices as a courtesy to others. Students may
use their phones for emergencies and step out of the classroom for calls as necessary. Above all, be
respectful to your classmates and the process of learning. If there is discourtesy students will be asked
to leave.
Student Email Policy
Dakota College at Bottineau increasingly depends on email as an official form of communication. A
student’s campus-assigned email address will be the only one recognized by the campus for official
mailings. The liability for missing or not acting on important information conveyed via campus email
rests with the student. Therefore, you MUST use your school email address to create your MyMathLab
account.
Disabilities and Special needs
If you have a disability for which you need accommodation, please see me immediately. If you have
already met with Student Developmental personnel, please provide me with the information regarding
your needs so that I can make the appropriate accommodations.
Key Considerations for Academic Success
•
Be an active participant in class every day. Use the email tool to ask questions on the
homework.
•
Balance school with the rest of your life. Plan enough study time to do well in this class. You
can expect to spend 2-3 hours on each homework assignment.
•
Use good study habits and get academic assistance at the first warning sign! If you are
struggling with a topic or homework assignment don’t hesitate to
ask someone!
•
Understand the impact of dropping classes both academically and financially.
•
Don’t put off for tomorrow what you can do today.
Tutoring
The Minot State University campus has free tutoring for students on the first floor of Old Main. The
tutoring schedule should be posted within the first few weeks of classes and the tutors are able to handle
a wide range of areas within mathematics.
