The averaged Online Homework assignment scores will represent 100 points of the total points used for evaluation of your performance in this course. Timely completion of the Homework assignments will have a direct bearing on your grade and strongly effect how much you learn. You are always encouraged to work extra problems. The score from each completed Homework assignment completed via the MyMathLab website will be averaged for a final score. If the assigned homework assignment is not completed, a score of zero will be averaged with the other homework scores. All homework assignments are due on Tuesday. Late Homework assignments will receive at most 70% of the point value on those problems completed after the Due Date.

SECTION QUIZZES (via MyMathLab website) 100 points A total of 10 quizzes need to be taken once the homework is completed on the specific sections via the MyMathLab website. Go to http://mymathlab.com, log in, and then Take a Quiz. You may take the same quiz up to three times and only your highest score will count in your grade. You do NOT need to send me your results; I can get them MyMathLab course website. You will have to take each and every Quiz by the deadline date listed in the schedule at the end of the syllabus. All quizzes are due on Tuesday. **There will be no MAKE UP quizzes, or extensions or exceptions given.** The best score out the three attempts from each completed quiz will be averaged for a final score. If the assigned quiz is not taken, a score of zero will be averaged with the other scores. All quizzes are due on Tuesday. EXAMS, MIDTERM, and FINAL EXAM (via MyMathLab) There will be 2 regular Exams, a Midterm, and one COMPREHENSIVE FINAL EXAM given at the end of the semester session. Each regular Exam will cover approximately two chapters and will each be worth 100 points. The Midterm and Final Exam will each be worth 250 points. You will have to take each and every exam by the deadline date. There will be NO MAKE UP exams, or extensions or exceptions given on Exam deadlines including MIDTERM and FINAL. If an exam is not taken by the deadline listed in the syllabus schedule, a score of zero will be given for the exam. See the syllabus schedule for the due dates for every exam. All practice exams must be taken and passed before regular exams may be taken. Practice Exams are found on the MyMathLab website under Take a Quiz/Exam. Online exams are NOT available for review. If you want to review what you missed on an online exam you must email Dr. Friske and set up an appointment to review your exam. EXAMs #1 and #2, 200 points total Exam #1 and Exam #2 (100 points each) may be taken on your own at home or at school using the honor system. Exams will be located on MyMathLab under Take a Quiz/Exam. Exams may only be taken ONCE and are timed. Practice Exams may be taken multiple times and are due 24 hours PRIOR to exam deadline. Exams are to be completed by 11:59 p.m. on the specified due date. The server will record the time the test is submitted. Don t cut it too close as your clock may be slower! Also remember that practice exams must be completed and passed 24 hours PRIOR TO Exam deadline in order to be able to take the regular exams. PROCTORED MIDTERM & FINAL EXAM (250 points each) 500 points total The Midterm and Final will be online, but must be taken on TCC SE Campus with proctored supervision at TCC Southeast Campus Testing Center, West or NE Campus Academic Services Center. You will be unable to access the test without the password, which the proctor will provide for you. To take the exam, YOU MUST present a photo ID and a set of car keys. Be sure to check the deadlines and the times of operation for the TCC testing location you intend to use. Please set aside at least two hours to take either exam. Avoid problems! Do NOT WAIT until the last minute, plan to take tests early! Books, notes or extra aids may not be used and will be kept at the office desk. You will be provided with scratch paper that must be turned in after the exam is completed. Calculators may be used but not shared between students. Students must work on the test continuously with no breaks. The maximum time for the Midterm and Final is two hours. ALL EXAMS will be located on the MYMATHLAB Website under Take a Quiz/Exam. Approved Proctor!! If you live more than 70 miles outside of Tulsa, the supervised Midterm and Final may be taken at an approved proctor location (usually a college testing center). The proctor may NOT be a personal friend or related to the student in any way. It will be the student s responsibility to notify Dr. Friske of the necessity of a proctor by Sunday, August 28, 2016. Every effort will be made by Dr. Friske to find a College Testing center within 70 miles of the student s location. The student may suggest a location and person where Internet and computer access is readily available that meets the criteria for a proctor. If you have a suggestion for possible College Testing Center, contact information regarding the name, affiliation, address, email address, and

location where the exam could be taken must be emailed to joyce.friske@tulsacc.edu by August 28, 2016. Dr. Friske will contact and interview the proctor for possible approval. If any attempt is discovered that represents false or misrepresentation of information given Dr. Friske concerning the proctor, the student will be given a zero on either or both the MIDTERM and FINAL EXAM. In addition, a report of Academic Misconduct and/or Dishonesty will be placed in the student s individual TCC file. Attendance Time Commitment Student Expectations: Attendance (keeping up with assignments, quizzes, class activities, and exams) is essential for maintaining the best learning environment. For this 3 credit hour course students who successfully complete the course report that they spend an average of 9 hours per week on the course during the semester. You may spend more or less, depending on your current level of expertise. NOTE: This Internet class demands that the student be self-motivated and self disciplined. You are responsible to keep up with the schedule, assignments, and exams. I will be contacting you throughout the semester via your MyTCC Outlook email account. STRATEGIES FOR SUCCESS 1. Be realistic about the amount of time required to do the coursework 2. Plan to spend 3 to 4 clock hours PER WEEK for every credit hour, a TOTAL of 9 to 12 hours PER WEEK. 3. Schedule class time just as if you were attending class on-campus 4. Log onto the class every day of the week. 5. Complete your on-line assignments ON TIME, Follow the syllabus schedule. 6. On-line is NOT easier!. ONLINE CLASSES ARE MUCH MORE DIFFICULT!!! 7. Participate actively in the class. PLAN to work problems ONLINE and those in your text. 8. Do NOT fall behind in your assignments 9. Use e-mail to communicate often with your instructor. 10. Go to the SEC Science/Math Lab (SEC 8150) for help when you need immediate assistance. Success in this type of learning requires a great deal of self discipline. You will need to be a self starter: as the work required will be completely up to you. Support systems are abundant but the initiative to take advantage of these resources is the student s own responsibility. Your text ought to be the first resource. Read each section carefully before attempting to do the homework exercises at the end of the section. Pay particular attention to the examples that are carefully worked and explained in each section. They demonstrate the skills required for success in the exercises. If after reading the section if you feel comfortable with the material go ahead and give the homework a try. You may be able to complete the assignment with a few references back to the examples. Mastery of the assignment should be an adequate measure of understanding. Mastery does not mean you have completed the homework. Each exercise should be completed without any help from the MyMathLab help buttons at the right. Click similar exercise to repeat until the exercise goes smoothly without help. Should the text reading not provide enough support, turn next to Course Compass Chapter Contents button. Here you will find tutorial examples, step by step video demonstrations/lectures, and further explanations. Then try the homework again. Make-Up and Late Assignment/Exam Policy: Deadlines for all assignments, quizzes, and class activities are listed on the Class Schedule in this syllabus. Online homework assignments may be completed after the due date. All LATE Online Homework assignments will be receive a 30% point deduction on all problems completed after the due date. There are NO Make-Up QUIZZES, or EXAMS. All quizzes and exams must be taken on or before the Due date listed on the schedule given at the end of this syllabus.

Classroom Etiquette: Students are expected to display tolerance for others views on Discussion Board forum and through emails. Comments and language should be respectful and appropriate for a college community which includes the instructor and classmates. Institutional Statement: Each student is responsible for being aware of the information contained in the TCC Catalog, the TCC Student Policies & Resources Handbook, and semester information listed in the class schedule. All information may be viewed on the TCC website: www.tulsacc.edu Transferability: Please visit with the TCC Counseling Center or the Counseling Center at the college or university to which you plan to transfer to determine transferability status of this course. Failure to Withdraw Policy/ Administrative Withdrawal Policy: Failure to withdraw may result in the student s receiving a regular grade of F at the end of the semester. The last date to withdraw or change to audit for the FALL semester is Friday, November 8, 2016. I do not give Administrative Withdrawal (AW) grades, so make effort to keep track of the last date to withdraw from class. Be sure and discuss the implications of withdrawal from class with your financial aid advisor. ADA Policy and Special Arrangements: DISABILITY RESOURCES: It is the policy and practice of Tulsa Community College to create inclusive learning environments. Accommodations for qualifying students in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act are available. To request accommodations, contact the Education Access Center (EAC) at eac@tulsacc.edu or call (918) 595-7115 (Voice). Deaf and hard of hearing students may text (918) 809-1864. If any student is in need of the academic accommodations from either office, it is the student s responsibility to advise the instructor so an appropriated referral can be made no later that the first week of class. Students may also contact the disabled Student Services Offices directly at the telephone numbers indicated. ACADEMIC ACCOMMODATIONS WILL NOT BE PROVIDED UNLESS APPROPRIATE DOCUMENTATION IS PROVIDED TO THE DISABLED STUDENT SERVICES OFFICES TO SUPPORT THE NEED. It is the student s responsibility to initiate any action requiring special arrangements. Realize it takes time to coordinate and to implement these arrangements. Students with circumstances requiring special consideration are encouraged to contact me during the first week of the semester or sooner. The timely approach will allow a clear plan of action to be established within the guidelines of the school and documented through the counseling office to insure equal access and opportunity. Plagiarism Policy: Plagiarism is claiming, indicating, or implying that ideas, sentences, or words of another writer are your own; it includes having another writer do work claimed to be your own, copying the work of another and presenting it as your own, or following the work of another as a guide to ideas and expressions that are then presented as your own. The student should review the relevant sections of the TCC Student Code of Conduct Policy Handbook. Plagiarism will not be tolerated and my result in dismissal from the course. Academic Dishonesty or Misconduct: Academic dishonesty (cheating) is defined as the deception of others about one s own work or about the work of another. Academic dishonesty or misconduct is not condoned or tolerated at campuses within the Tulsa Community College system. Tulsa Community College adopts a policy delegating certain forms of authority for disciplinary action to the faculty. Such disciplinary actions delegated to the faculty include, but are not limited to, the dismissal of disrespectful or disorderly students from classes. In the case of academic dishonesty a faculty member may:

Require the student to redo an assignment or test, or require the student to complete a substitute assignment or test; Record a "zero" for the assignment or test in question; Recommend to the student that the student withdraw from the class, or administratively withdraw the student from the class; Record a grade of "F" for the student at the end of the semester. Faculty may request that disciplinary action be taken against a student at the administrative level by submitting such a request to the Dean of Student Services. Course Drop or Withdrawal: A student who has been found responsible for academic dishonesty in a course may not drop or withdraw from the course without faculty approval. If the student processes a drop or withdrawal from the course, the action will be reversed and the appropriate grade will be recorded on the student's transcript.
