Regular, punctual attendance is essential for success in this course.  Attendance will be taken at the beginning of each class meeting.  If your grade is borderline your attendance may determine if you get the next higher grade.  Please note that 3 tardies or early departures will constitute 1 absence.

FOR EXTRA HELP:  Form a study group, visit the Learning Assistance Center (LAC - G200) for free tutoring or for tutorial software designed for use with your textbook, go to the Learning Resource Center (LRC - G300) to check out course tapes or come by my office during the hours listed above.

 

 

GRADING:

You will be assigned 5 percentage grades for your work in this course:  a quiz percentage (explained below) and 4 chapter test percentages (chapter test content is outlined below).  Your 5 percentage grades will be averaged to determine your percentage for the course.

 

The grade assigned is based on the following % scale.

GRADING SCALE:

90-100%:  A;  80-89%:  B;  70-79%:  C;  60-69%:  D;  Below 60%:  F

QUIZZES:

The points earned for the following will determine the quiz percentage portion of your final grade.

1.             6 in class quizzes worth 5 points each

2.             6 take home quizzes worth 10 points each

3.             10 attendance points (This score goes down a point for each absence.

There are no make-up quizzes.  If extenuating circumstances force you to miss a class, the quiz must be made up or the assignment submitted early or before the start of the next class.  To determine your quiz percentage, add up the points you earned on all of the quizzes.

 

 

TESTS:                

#1:           5.1 – 5.7

#2:           5.8, 5.9, 6.4, 6.6, 7.1, 7.2

#3:           7.3 – 7.8

#4:           9.1, Appendix E, 9.2 – 9.5

There are no make-up tests.  If a test day must be missed, arrangements should be made to take the test early or before the next class.  If this cannot be done, you will be allowed to complete a retake version of one missed test on final exam day.  A second missed test will be recorded as zero percent.  If you take all of the chapter tests, you will be allowed to complete a retake version of the test of your choice on final exam day to try to improve your overall grade.

 

 

GRADING POLICIES:

You will be dropped from the course if you have not attended at least one class meeting by September 10, 2003.

Good attendance is imperative for success in this course.  If you have missed more than 15% of the scheduled classes (4 class meetings) and are failing the course, you will receive an FN (failure for non-attendance) grade.  This grade can be issued after the final withdrawal deadline, and may affect financial aid.

A grade of I (Incomplete) can be given only if a student has successfully completed 70% of the course.

 

 

CLASSROOM COURTESIES:

Attend class every day, arrive on time, and stay the entire class period.

Beepers and cell phones must be turned off during class time.

It is FCCJ policy that children under 16 are not allowed in the classroom.

 

 

STUDENT ACADEMIC DISHONESTY POLICY:

Students found cheating on quizzes or exams will receive an F in the course and procedures for expulsion from the college will be followed.  Cheating includes (among other things) copying another individual’s work (or allowing someone to copy your work), using cheat sheets (or programmed information) on an in class quiz or exam.  For the full policy visit http://www.fccj.org/current/rules/dueprocessproc.html.

 

 

STATE POLICIES:

This course can be used as an elective credit to fulfill the A.A. Degree requirements but is a non-transferable mathematics course to most universities.  This course may not be used to fulfill the mathematics general education requirements for the A.S. Degree.

 

The state mandates that a student may enroll in a course a maximum of 3 times.  If the first two attempts are unsuccessful, the third time a student enrolls in the course he/she must pay the full cost of instruction.  This cost is equivalent to the out-of-state tuition rate, which is approximately four times the cost of regular tuition.  All grades will count as an attempt, including audit, AW, W, FN, F and D.  Only “drops” submitted by the advertised deadline date (during the first week of a term) will not count as being enrolled.  A student cannot repeat a course if a grade of A, B, or C has been earned.

 

FORMULA FOR SUCCESS:

Don’t get behind!

If possible students should read the text and study the text examples before the topics are discussed in class and certainly after.  I will lecture on theory, and work carefully chosen examples from each section, following the course schedule calendar.  Take good notes and refer to them when completing assignments and studying for tests.  Attempt the assigned textbook problems (answers are in the back of the book) before the next class meeting.  See me during my office hours for help.  There will be very little time at the beginning of each class to discuss homework problems.

Participate in the class!

Take notes and ask questions.  Think through examples presented and work any additional problems provided for in class practice.  Help and get help from the students around you.  Take responsibility for your own learning.

Study for quizzes and tests!

Students should follow the course schedule closely so that they are adequately prepared for all quizzes and tests.  When studying for quizzes and tests use all resources available.  Restudy text and class examples.  Review quizzes and complete study guide examples.  Form a study group, get help from the Learning Assistance Center (LAC – G200) and take advantage of my office hours.

Get help before it’s too late!

Procrastination will be evident in your quiz and test scores.

 

 

I welcome all of you and look forward to working with each of you.  I am concerned about your success and want to assure you that I will work hard to help each of you reach your potential.  With similar dedication on your part, you will successfully complete the course.  Please feel free to come see me about any of your course concerns.

 

PARTICIPATION, PRACTICE AND PERSEVERANCE ARE THE KEYS TO SUCCESS!!!
