(Note the following grading and testing information is subject to change by the
instructor)
Effective Summer 2011, students will have the ability to
initiate a withdrawal from classes. By completing the form in the Records Office
or through the form located within WebAdvisor, the student is authorizing IVCC
to remove him/her from the course. Entering the student ID number serves as the
student’s electronic signature. IVCC has the right to rescind a withdrawal in
cases of academic dishonesty or at the instructor’s discretion.
Students should be aware of the impact of a withdrawal on
full-time status for insurance purposes and for financial aid. It is highly
recommended that students meet with their instructor or with a counselor before
withdrawing from a class to discuss if a withdrawal is the best course of action
for that particular student.
More detailed information is available at
www.ivcc.edu/admissions and selecting the menu item for Withdrawals on the
left side of the page.
Grade components:
- 6 Hour exams (100 points each).
- Final Exam – cumulative based on material covered throughout semester
(100 points)
- MYMATHLAB homework (100 points)
- Group exercises may be collected and graded. They may include
recently covered material. (points tba)
- You are expected to read the text to supplement information provided
during my lectures. On average, you should spend 2 hours studying outside of
class for each hour you are in class.
MYMATHLAB details:
- Each section we cover has a required MYMATHLAB homework
assignment. You can try each problem as many times as you wish
until you get it correct. This means if you spend enough time, you can
get 100% of the problems correct. The total points awarded for
MYMATHLAB homework will be based on your overall percentage correct on all assignments at the end of the semester. An overall percentage of
100% will get a student all 100 points possible for the MYMATHLAB component
of this course.

Cheating:
A score of zero will be given on any assignment where cheating
occurs. Other disciplinary actions are at the discretion of the instructor and
may include, but are not limited to being withdrawn from the course and possibly
from IVCC.
Attendance: You are expected to attend all classes regularly. If absence
is unavoidable, it is your responsibility to complete any work missed.
Policy: All IVCC student policies apply to this class.
Special Needs: If you are a student with a cognitive, physical or
psychiatric disability you may be eligible for academic support services such as
extended test time, texts on tape, note taking services etc.. If you are

Respect-- one of IVCC's core values of respect,
caring, honesty, fairness and responsibility, represented by the acronym
ReaCHFaR-- has been chosen as this year's campus wide theme. Respect influences
each of us daily -- at school, in our homes, at work, and in our fields of
study. Keep the theme in mind as you complete course activities this semester.
(schedule subject to change by instructor, quizzes not listed)
Homework Assignments: mymathlab assignments: 1 per section covered.
