ATTENDANCE:

The college-wide attendance policy is included in the Syllabus Addendum . The policy notes that each instructor is to exercise professional judgment and define “active participation” in class (and therefore “attendance”), and publish that definition in each syllabus. For this class, attendance is defined as:

While in class, students must be focused on this class, not other course work, cell phones, etc. If a student misses 3 or more classes in a row without contacting the instructor, or has 2 or more zeros on tests, that student may be considered to be "Not Actively Participating", and will receive a WF for the course.

Students who have zero unexcused absences will earn 5 bonus points. Those who have only one unexcused absences will earn 3 bonus points. Students who arrive late or leave early will lose one point each time. These points will be added/subtracted to/from the total test points.

GRADING:

There will be 5 100 point tests, weekly 10 point quizzes, and one 20 point take-home quiz which is added in with your test grades. There will be a 100 point cumulative final exam. Students having an "A" average will be exempt from the final. The final exam will also be used to replace your lowest test grade. The lowest quiz grade will be dropped.

Course Grade: 20% Quizzes, 60% Tests, 20% Final Exam

ASSIGNMENTS:

See the content tab in My Courses for the homework assignments. While this homework is required, it will not be collected or graded. You must take the responsibility to keep up with the homework. Questions on the homework will be answered in the beginning of class as time allows. Quiz and test problems will be based on the homework.

Other Important Notes:

*I am here to help you succeed in this class. Please do not hesitate to call, email or drop by my office during my office hours. If my office hours to not fit your schedule, contact me to schedule an appointment.

*Each student is responsible for earning his/her grade. I do not give grades that are not earned. The time to seek help is at the beginning of the semester and continuously throughout, not just at the end.

*If you are a student with a disability, please contact the instructor immediately to discuss your accomodations.

Keys to Success:

*Ask Questions *Work with other students

*Seek help early and often *Plan time in your schedule to seek help

*Do not miss class, come in late or leave early *Review your notes, read the book and do your homework before coming to class.

*If a catastrophic event prevents us from using the physical buildings on campus, the course will be completed online through My Courses.
