ACCESSIBILITY Florida State College at Jacksonville recognizes the importance of assisting and encouraging all students to reach their full potential. In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Americans with Disabilities Act as amended in 2008, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the College ensures that its admission requirements are uniformly applied, and that its services, activities, facilities and academic programs are accessible to and usable by all qualified students. The Office of Services for Students with Disabilities (OSSD) implements and coordinates reasonable accommodations and disability- related services to promote full participation of individuals with disabilities in all aspects of life. The Rehabilitation Act defines a disability as an individual who has a physical, mental, or learning disability, which substantially limits one or more major life activity (i.e., seeing, hearing, speaking, walking, sitting, standing, breathing, reading, writing, or performing mathematical calculations, and caring for oneself); or who has a record of such impairment; or who is regarded as having such impairment. Both the impairment and the limitation of a major life activity must be established to be eligible under the ADA. Please click here for more information.

Solve real world problems in areas of business, economics, social sciences, and/or education COURSE PARTICIPATION ASSIGNMENTS Homework will be done in MyMathLab as well as from the textbook. It is extremely important that you keep up with the homework assignments in order to assist you in understanding the content of the course. To avoid falling behind, homework is due at the start of class, one week after the material is covered in class. Online homework problems may be worked multiple times, so you should be able to score a 100% on each assignment. Problems should be worked on paper with each problem numbered just like you would if you were doing book homework. Textbook homework will be graded for completeness and form, not just the correct answer. All work must be shown no credit will be given for answers only. Homework should be turned in within a week of when the section is covered in class. TESTS There will be four in- class exams and a comprehensive final exam. You are expected to be present for all exams. If you have perfect attendance during an exam cycle, three bonus points will be added to your exam grade. The comprehensive final exam will be given on the day scheduled by the college. If you take all of the chapter exams as scheduled in class, the final exam may be substituted for your lowest exam grade.

4 QUIZZES A MyMathLab online quiz will be assigned for each section. You may take an online quiz a maximum of 3 times; the highest grade will be counted. Online quizzes are due at the start of class, one week after the material is covered in class.

5 Course Grade Breakdown Assignments Percent Tests 55% Homework 15% Quizzes 15% Final Exam 15% Total Percent 100% Grade Percent A 90% - 100% B 80% - 89% C 70% - 79% D 60% 69% F 0% 59% Your final grade will be based on the work you submit. The level of effort you have expended, the urgency of your need to pass this course, the circumstances that burdened you this term, and all other such considerations are not relevant. Do not ask for individual extra credit, and do not try to persuade me to give you a higher grade on the basis of the personal consequences of your performance. FN GRADE - FAILURE FOR NON- ATTENDANCE A Failure for Non- Attendance (FN) grade indicates that a student has failed a course due to non- attendance. It is calculated as an F in the student s grade point average. For students receiving financial aid, failure for non- attendance may require the student to refund to the College all or part of his or her aid. The FN grade will be assigned by the faculty member at any time following the final withdrawal date for the course. See the College s page on Grading policies ( 'for more information. I GRADE - INCOMPLETE The grade of incomplete is given at the discretion of the instructor when the student has completed at least 75% of the course and has a passing grade. The student must have a valid excuse with documentation and consult with the instructor before an I grade will be assigned. An I Grade Contract must be filled out and signed by student. REPEATING THE COURSE You may repeat a course in an attempt to improve a grade previously earned. However, you are limited in your attempts to courses where a D, F, or FN grade was earned. You have only three total attempts in any course, including the original grade, repeat grades, and withdrawals. Upon the third attempt in a course, you must be given an A, B, C, D or F. When you repeat a course at Florida State College, only the last grade earned is calculated in your cumulative grade point average (GPA). If you have an excessive number of W or FN grades and repeat courses to improve your GPA, you may jeopardize your admission to programs in the Florida State University System (SUS) or other institutions. COURSE GUIDELINES & POLICIES ACADEMIC DISHONESTY Students found cheating on exams will receive an F in the course and procedures for expulsion from the college will be followed. Cheating includes (among other things) copying another individual s work (or allowing someone to copy your work) or using cheat sheets (or programmed information) on an exam. For the full policy see the College Catalog. LATE MAKEUP WORK Homework: A 2% per day late penalty will be assessed on any problems worked after the one week deadline. No homework (online or textbook) will be accepted after the date of the exam. Tests: You are allowed one make- up exam. Any subsequent missed exams will be counted as a zero. All make- up exams will be given during the week of April 6 April 10.

6 Quizzes: You may request an extension to any quiz deadline once during the term. You will have until the next class meeting to complete that quiz. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SUCCESS IN THIS COURSE If you didn t study yesterday s notes, you can t do today s homework, and you will not be able to follow tomorrow s lecture. Study at least a couple of hours each day and make use of all available resources. Homework and quizzes should be attempted before the next class meeting. This will give you an opportunity to get your questions answered and complete the assignment before the due date. You should expect to spend 2-3 hours outside of class for every hour in the classroom (that is 6 9 hours per week). Mathematics is NOT a spectator sport! If you don t understand something - get help immediately! ATTENDANCE POLICY Students are expected to attend class, to come on time, and to stay for the entire class period. Attendance will be taken each class meeting. Three tardies (coming late or leaving early) will count as 1 absence. A student absent from class is responsible for getting any missed material from a fellow classmate. POLICY ON ELECTRONIC DEVICES All cell phones, texting devices, tablets, laptops and other such devices need to be turned off during class and kept in your backpack or purse. They are distracting and disruptive to the learning environment. In- class usage is restricted to emergency situations. Inform the instructor before class of any extenuating circumstances. Cell phones are not allowed during tests, not even as a calculator.
