APPLICATION EXERCISES:
Following every lecture students will have suggested homework problems to work plus an "Application Exercise."
The application exercises must be submitted to the instructor at the beginning of the following class day. Each application exericse is worth 1 pt.
Application exercises will not be accepted late (but they can be submitted early).
QUIZZES:
Each day following a lecture the instructor will administer a 4-point quiz comprised of problems representative
of the suggested homework problems. Quizzes cannot be taken late nor can they be made up. Besides preparing for the quizzes,
students should also work the suggested homework assigned in class.
ATTENDANCE:
Attendance is a necessary component of the course. The instructor may withdraw a student for non-attendance, but it is the
student's responsibility to drop the class if he or she wishes to withdraw. November 18 is the last day to drop the class.
MAKEUP POLICY:
Quizzes cannot be made up. The final exam cannot be made up. Other exams can be made up if the student can show good cause for missing the exam.
Application exercises cannot be made up (but they can be submitted early). The final exam cannot be made up.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY & DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR:
Disruptive behavior, cheating, plagiarism, and
academic dishonesty can all lead to severe disciplinary sanctions. Students should refer to the Temple College Student Handbook
regarding policies dealing with academic integrity and disruptive behavior. Cell phones should not be used in class. Cell phone usage during an exam warrants a grade of zero.
