The Final Exam will be given on Thursday, December 13th, 7:10-9pm. Your instructor will announce the location of the final exam once it has been set. The final exam will NOT be given in the math testing center or the regular classroom.

Homework & Quizzes: Your Homework grade will be a combination of on-line (MyMathLab) and written (Recitation) homework. Quizzes are given at the discretion of the instructor.

Attendance: Attendance in both the class and a recitation section is mandatory. Your instructor will keep regular attendance. The maximum number of permissible absences from class and recitation combined is eight (8). Students who exceed the number of allowed absences will receive a grade of EN.

Exams: three midterm exams will be given during the semester, in the ASU mathematics testing center PSA 21 (basement).  In order to be admitted to the Testing Center, you must have a valid ASU "Sun Card" or other picture ID. Testing center hours are 10:30AM - 8:15PM with the last test given out at 6:30PM. (Testing center hours unconfirmed as of 8/12/2012). You should take exams as early as possible on the testing day indicated in the schedule, because the center can get extremely busy. If you arrive late, you risk having to stand in line.

The midterm exams (and the final exam) will test mechanical skills as well as conceptual understanding.

Testing Center Rules: Your calculator program memory may be randomly viewed during any exam and will be cleared if anything suspicious is written therein. Cell Phones must be turned OFF (not silent) during the exam and put away. Answering, accessing or using its photography features during the exam is grounds for failure and potential Academic Dishonesty procedures. All other electronic devices, including (but not limited to) Blackberrys, Ipods, etc, must be turned off and placed away during your exam. Your calculator cover must be put away during the exam.

Skateboards and other personal transportation devices are no longer allowed in the testing center. It will be best if you walk to the testing center. If you leave anything in the hallway, you do this at your own risk.

Office Hours: Office hours are regularly scheduled times during the week when your instructor is available to meet with you outside of class to discuss the class material or your grades.

The ASU Math Community Center in PSA 303 is an excellent place to get help for the class. The MCC is open Monday to Friday, 10am to 7pm, starting on 9/4/2012.

ASU Learning Resource Center (LRC): The LRC, provides counseling, tutoring in math (and many other subjects), supplemental instruction, and other types of support to students. LRC resources are available in many residence halls and in the Memorial Union, Room 14. See the LRC web page for further information.

The grade of Incomplete: A grade of incomplete will be awarded only in the event that a documented emergency or illness prevents the student who is doing acceptable work from completing a small percentage of the course requirements. The guidelines in the current general ASU catalog regarding a grade of incomplete will be strictly followed.

Instructor-Initiated Drop: At the instructor's discretion, any student who has not attended class during the first week of classes may be administratively dropped from the course. However, students should be aware that non-attendance will NOT automatically result in their being dropped from the course. Thus, a student should not assume they are no longer registered for a course simply because they did not attend class during the first week. It is the student's responsibility to be aware of their registration status.

Final Exam Make-up Policy: The final exam schedule listed in the Schedule of Classes will be strictly followed. Exceptions to the schedule and requests for make-up examinations can be granted only by the Department Chair, Associate Department Chair or the Director of First Year Mathematics, and for one of the following reasons:

1. religious conflict (e.g., the student celebrates the Sabbath on Saturday)

2. the student has more than three exams scheduled on the same day as the math final

3. there is a time conflict between the math final and another final exam.

Classroom behavior, etiquette and academic integrity policies

• Athletes with travel schedules should meet with me by the end of the first week of classes to discuss any necessary arrangements that need to be made.

• If you have a disability that requires special accommodations, it is your responsibility to bring this to your instructor’s attention during the first week of class. You should also contact the ASU Disability Resource Center .

• Arrangements for any religious observances or ASU sanctioned activity must be arranged with the instructor at least one week prior to the event.

• Classroom disturbances, including but not limited to: arriving late, talking in class and using cellular devices are not tolerated. Each student is expected to show respect for every student registered in the course.

An instructor may withdraw a student from a course when the student's behavior disrupts the educational process under USI 201-10



Students are required to adhere to the ABOR Student Code of Conduct:



• Academic Integrity: The highest standards of academic integrity are expected of all students. The failure of any student to meet these standards may result in suspension or expulsion from the University or other sanctions as specified in the University Student Academic Integrity Policy. For more information on academic integrity, including the policy and appeal procedures, please visit

The grade of XE: A grade of XE is reserved for "failure for academic dishonesty." The grade goes on the student's transcript; the student needs to petition to have it removed after 1 year.

This syllabus is tentative and should not be considered definitive. The instructor reserves the right to modify it (including the dates of the tests) to meet the needs of the class. It is the student responsibility to attend class regularly and to make note of any change. In-class or online announcements are considered addenda to the syllabus. The Instructor also reserves the right to amend class policies in regards to homework due date, late assignments, etc, in this fashion.
