If you experience barriers based on disability, please seek a meeting with the Access and Disability Services (ADS) manager to discuss and address them. If you have already established accommodations with the ADS manager, please bring your approved accommodations (green sheet) to me at your earliest convenience so we can discuss your needs in this course. ADS offers resources and coordinates reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities. Reasonable accommodations are established through an interactive process between you and the ADS manager, and I am available to help facilitate them in this class. If you have not yet established services through ADS, but have a temporary or permanent disability that requires accommodations (this can include but not be limited to; mental health, attention-related, learning, vision, hearing, physical or health impacts), you are encouraged to contact ADS at (Fort Steilacoom) or (Puyallup). Emergency Management Plan If there is emergency closure of the college due to widespread illness, adjustments may need to be made to the syllabus and/or mode of instruction in order to achieve the course objectives. Policy on Academic Honesty (CLICK LINK FOR POLICY DETAILS) Students are required to uphold basic ethical principles including honest test taking procedures and respecting the rights of fellow students and instructors. Plagiarism occurs when you knowingly submit someone else s ideas or words as your own. Plagiarism is an act of intentional deception that is not only dishonest; it robs you of the most important products of education the actual learning. Should I suspect that you have plagiarized or cheated during testing or completion of assignments, I will talk to you one-on-one. If you are found guilty of academic dishonesty, you will automatically fail that assignment or test. If you are caught again guilty of academic dishonesty, you will fail this class. Tests are to be completed without talking or collaborating with others. Cheating behavior will result in a test grade of zero or a final course grade of 0.0. Suggestions for Course Success To be successful in any endeavor requires discipline, effective habits, and positive attitude. Students who can generate these characteristics will improve their chances of success in this course and In achieving their life goals. The math calculations you will perform in this course are not complicated. The challenge you will have is in learning the Business Concepts, Formulas, and Vocabulary so that you can correctly set up the equations required to answer

5 the word problems. You will have more success if you learn the concepts instead of trying to plug numbers into the equations. YOUR VALUE IS IN UNDERSTANDING THE NUMBERS NOT PERFORMING THE CALCULATIONS. The book contains many resources to assist in learning how to solve these problems including a DVD, YouTube videos, practice quizzes, and many drill problems for practice. I will also direct you to the key concepts of each chapter and provide insights on how to solve problems. You will have most success if you.. 1. Read the entire chapter once through. 2. Read each Learning Unit and practice LU problems.as you complete the LU. 3. Review areas where you had difficulty with the LU quiz problems. 4. Practice Drill problems for the areas you had difficulty with or until you consistently get them correct. Answers to odd problems are back of the book. 5. Complete Homework Quiz prior to chapter test. 6. Review videos for additional explanation of Learning Unit problems. 7. Use the tutoring services as needed. 8. Ask questions in class. 9. Schedule time with instructor as needed. YOU CAN HAVE REASONS OR RESULTS, AND YOU CAN T HAVE BOTH YOUR VALUE IS WHAT YOU PROVIDE OTHERS. YOU RECEIVE IN PROPORTION TO THE VALUE YOU PROVIDE.
