Calculation of Final Course Grade: Quizzes 20% Written Assignments, Web Assign & Projects 15% Tests 40% Final Exam 25% Class Guidelines: Attendance- Attendance is expected for all classes. It is the responsibility of the student to notify the instructor of a legitimate absence for a test and plans for make-up. E-MAIL ME anytime YOU ARE ABSENT. 3
Be Prompt- All students are expected to be on time. (Bonus Participation Points: 1/3 to 1/2 bonus point per class held is awarded to students who are present, on time, AND remain the duration of the class with maximum of 6 points per grading period). Any student missing more than 7 days of class instruction may have their college grade lowered by one letter grade with the Director having the option to excuse a student when documented; mitigating circumstances prevent the student from attending class. For DCC attendance policy: Students missing 25% or more of the total time allocated for classes and/or labs may be administratively withdrawn from the course upon recommendation of the instructor. Students administratively withdrawn prior to completion of 60% of the classes will be issued a W; after that point, students will be issued a grade of F. Be Prepared- Bring all required materials and completed assignments to class daily. Students are expected to read over text material prior to coming to class and check HW for which answers are available. Be Respectful- Class time is to be fully utilized for the benefit of the student. Read material, stay on task, and exhibit a scholarly manner. Use appropriate manners, be courteous to all, and have respectful use of equipment. It is very important that computers are used according to handbook guidelines. Do your part to maintain a non-disruptive learning environment including turning off any cell phones and pagers during lecture. Students whose conduct hinders the academic achievement of others will be referred to the Director and subject to disciplinary action. No electronic devices or food are allowed in class; bottled drinks are permissible. All cell phones/pagers are to be TURNED OFF prior to entering class and placed FACE DOWN on front center of desk. Follow Student Handbook and Honor Code- It is the student s responsibility to read and commit to PGS guidelines as stated in the Student Handbook. Each written assignment submitted for a grade must have the pledge written out and signed. Assignments without the appropriate honor pledge will not be graded. PGS policies are incorporated as part of this syllabus. Assignments- Any written work should be neatly completed on college ruled loose-leaf paper, in a vertical format, labeled and dated. Lines should be skipped between problems. Enough work must be shown to follow the logical thought process, even if a calculator is used, this includes showing any formula used and appropriate substitutions. Graded assignments must be completed and turned in by 7:45 am. Group projects are to be completed using a collaborative effort two brains are better than one. It is extremely important that students complete homework/class work assignments promptly and have problems checked for which answers are provided. Test and quizzes will include an understanding of the definitions and problems throughout the text. Study partners are encouraged for homework assignments and missed lectures. REQUIRED: Any student, who fails to turn in a graded assignment, must complete & sign a pink slip stating: the assignment, reason chose not to complete the assigned work and date to be turned in if accepted late. Failure to do so will result in loss of all bonus points for the grading period(s) and denied acceptance of late work. Required hard copy of any electronically submitted assignment is to be turned in upon next day present. Class Participation- Each student is expected to be attentive, to ask questions, and to interact positively and appropriate in the classroom environment. If you are having difficulty, please ask question during class or arrange for tutorial assistance promptly. Each student is expected to be on task, complete all assignments timely, have homework checked when possible, and to always show respective, orderly, conduct even when unsupervised. Examinations Dates for major test/exams will generally be announced at least one week in advance. Additional time will not be given to students arriving late and must be completed in the allotted class time. Students are responsible for having a non-graphing, non-programmable scientific calculator (if permissible), pencils, and loose-leaf paper. For certain tests this will be the only calculator allowed. The use of any unauthorized calculator will result in a zero for that assignment. 4
Make-up work - It is the student s responsibility to request missed work and turn in assignments timely. Students are encouraged to have a classmate to call for missed HW assignments or notes and check their email/class web page. In Class Tests/Quizzes will be taken during the next class meeting the student is present. Since this means students will miss instructional time it is imperative that every attempt is made to be present on testing days. Discuss any extenuating circumstances with your instructor promptly. Work due on the date of an absence must be e-mailed, faxed, or delivered to the teacher. No Written Assignment will be accepted late without proper completion of Pink-slip. All late work may be accepted at the sole discretion of the instructor and, if accepted, will be penalized ten percent for each school day late. For planned/prior approved absences assignments should be completed prior to the absence unless other arrangements are made with the instructor. It is the student s responsibility to notify the instructor of these events and request work in a timely matter. Snow or Delayed Class Schedule Always check your email/blackboard promptly for assignment. Complete the next assignment on tentative HW sheet as available; or read the next section in text and complete odd problems should no new posting be available. Delayed class weather schedules follow Pittsylvania County announcements and are posted to the PGSMST website. Materials to be turned in at the Final Exam: Any materials issued that are the property of PGS, Practice Exam and all graded papers.
