4 ONLINE CHAPTER HOME WORK For each chapter, exercises will be selected and assigned as the online CHAPTER HOME WORK at under My Assignment button with expiration dates which will coincide with the online test/paper test expiration dates. Students need to log on to the site, do the exercises of multiple-choice or open-ended type, and submit through the site. For each chapter, if the percent grade is at least 85%, students will earn the full-credit of 8 points. Otherwise, the number of points earned = percent grade times 8 points, round to 1 decimal place. All online chapter home work will expire at 12 mid-night. Schedules of on-line tests are posted as above and details of each test will be provided in the WebAssign.com site under My Assignment button. Three online tests of multiple-choice and open-ended types are scheduled as stated above. Students are required to log on to the WebAssign website to take the test during the posted period.

The Mathematics and Computer Science Department requires proctored paper testing for all online math courses. They are pencil and paper tests and will be given during the test periods posted by Virtual Learning. Paper Test Schedule: February 18-19, April 1-2, and May 6-7, Proctored paper tests are 2-hour pencil and paper examinations taken at any one of the five HACC campuses. Students are allowed to bring a scientific calculator or graphing calculator such as TI 83/84. No other electronic device (e.g. cellular phone of any brand, iphone, ipad, Droid, laptop, Apps) with computer algebra system (e.g. TI 89 graphing calculator) will be allowed. No notecards, formula sheets, and books will be allowed. 3. Students must notify the instructor when and where they will take the paper test one week before the testing period. 4. Students are expected to log on to the Virtual Learning web site to check the actual dates, times, and location at their registered campus Paper tests will be returned to online math instructors at least two days after the end of each testing period. It will take about a week to get all grading done. Graded paper tests and solutions will be sent to students by mail or Final exams will not be returned to students. They will be kept for record keeping. Students can check their course grade via HACCWeb on or after May 15, If you cannot come to one of the campus locations to take your proctored pencil and paper exam, you must notify the instructor as soon as possible. If you need an off-site proctoring arrangement, a test proctor form must be completed and mailed to the instructor for approval. The instructor will then forward the form to the Virtual Learning for the final approval two weeks prior to your requested test date(s). You can download the guidelines for securing an off-site proctor and a proctor form from the Virtual Learning web site.
