Attendance: Although attendance is not a part of your grade, you are expected to attend every class. You are responsible for the material that you miss in case of an absence. Excessive absences (more than three) may result in your withdrawal from the class at the professor s discretion. Withdrawal: In order to receive a W in this course, you must withdraw by November 9 th. If you do not withdraw by the deadline, you will receive a letter grade (A, B, C, D, or F). If you choose to withdraw, you must do so yourself through Atlas. Grading: Your grades will be computed according to the following percentages: 4 Tests 70% Quizzes (1 dropped) 10% Cumulative Final Exam 20% Grading Scale: 90 100 A 80 89 B 70 79 C 60 69 D 59 or below F Tests: There will be 4 tests throughout the semester. If you miss a test, you must have approval from the instructor first. If you miss a test without instructor approval, you will receive 25 points off the final grade. Tests must be made up before the next class period. It is the student s responsibility to make those arrangements with the instructor. Homework: Homework is essential to passing this course! It is highly recommended that you complete homework assignments as the sections are covered. A word of warning: completing the homework problems by any means other than the ones covered in class is detrimental to your learning and will result in substandard preparation for the quizzes and exams. Don t take shortcuts, even if you know how! Quizzes: There will be a quiz every Thursday. It will cover the material since the last quiz. The lowest quiz grade of the semester will be dropped. Final: The cumulative final exam will be held on Monday, December 10, 2018, from 10:00 am 12:30 pm in the regular classroom. Do not plan to take the final exam at another time. If you do not take the final exam, it will result in an F in the class. Academic Honesty: All students are expected to comply with Valencia s policy on academic honesty. Any student caught cheating on a test or quiz will receive a zero for the assignment, and a course grade of an F may be assigned by the professor.

Conduct You are encouraged to actively participate and ask pertinent questions during class. Courtesy will be observed at all times. Your attitude will greatly affect your ability to succeed in this course. It will also affect your classmates attitudes should you choose to participate in class discussions. Always consider this carefully before you speak or act. Cell phones, pagers, or other devices that are audible are not permitted to be on during class. Unplug yourself and make the most of class time! Personal electronic devices disrupt your learning as well as the learning of other students. To create a good environment for learning, avoid sidebar conversations with other students while work is being done at the board, rude comments or remarks, raised voices or confrontational comments. Follow instructions given by your instructor, who serves as your classroom manager.

If you are ever asked to leave class, you may be permitted to return to future class meetings after consultation with your instructor outside of
class. You may also be required to arrange a conference with another college official before attending class again.
