Homework Requirements: All homework should be done before the next class period. The unannounced quizzes will be the homework problems from previous assignments. You may use your homework notebooks but not your book during the homework quizzes.

Tests:
No exams may be taken LATE. You are encouraged to take an exam early if you think you will miss it or if you have already missed an exam earlier in the semester. The final exam will count twice. If you do not miss an exam, the final will replace your lowest test score. If you miss an exam, the final will replace your zero. If you score worse on the final exam, then all other tests will count and the final will only count once. All tests will be taken with a pencil or a 5 point deduction will occur.
Make-up quizzes:
Quizzes can not be made up (early or late). One-Two quizzes might be dropped.

Cheating: If you are caught cheating before the withdrawal date, you will be withdrawn from the course with a W. If you are caught cheating after the withdrawal date, you will receive an F for the final class grade.

Calculator: You should have a graphing calculator and know how to use it. You may check your work with a graphing calculator, but you must show all work. You may not store any information in the graphing calculator (see cheating above). A random check may occur during exams to check calculator memory. Please remove calculator covers before starting exam.

IVCC attendance policy: "Students are expected to attend all classes regularly. If absence is unavoidable, it is the student's responsibility to explain the absence to his instructor and arrange to complete any work missed."

Withdrawal policy: Last day to withdraw is November 9, 2010 To request a withdraw from this class, the student must visit my office E-303 and fill out the withdrawal form with a signature. In my absence, the student must contact the Dean of English, Mathematics, and Education (Marianne Dzik). I will only withdraw a student if he or she has signed the withdraw form or has not taken any quizzes or tests by midterm. All withdrawals earn a grade of "W" which does not affect the GPA but deletes the course credit(s) for the involved course(s). Withdrawal from a course can affect financial aid. Students who receive financial aid should see an advisor in the Financial Aid Office before withdrawing from a course.

School Closings and Class Cancellations:  In the event of inclement weather, please tune to a local radio station for possible school closings.  If an exam is scheduled for a day that the school is closed or class is cancelled, it will be conducted during the next scheduled class period.  Check IVCC's Class Cancellations (http://www.ivcc.edu/cancellations/) and class announcements at CourseCompass/MyMathLab (http://www.coursecompass.com)
Special Needs: You may be eligible for academic accommodations if you have a documented physical, psychiatric (anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, AD/HD, post-traumatic stress, or others) or cognitive disability such as a learning disability.  If you have a disability and need more information regarding possible accommodations, please contact Tina Hardy at (tina_hardy@ivcc.edu, 224-0284) or Judy Mika  Judy_Mika@ivcc.edu or 224-0350) or stop by office B-204.
