EMAIL: Email is the fastest and preferred method of individual communication. I check email frequently 11:00 am -10:00 pm. An email response should be received within 24 hours, if not check the available space in your email box and then resend your email. TEACHING METHODS: Help is available 24/7 in the form of videos, multimedia textbook, animations, help buttons, and tech support. Take assignments at least one day early; waiting until the last minute makes you very vulnerable to technical and personal problems which may cost you points. To maintain equal access for all students, I do not extend due dates for individuals. However a few grades will be dropped at the end of the semester to help with emergencies; use them sparingly as life can be unpredictable. Homework is an interactive way to learn the material. It has links to videos, the multimedia textbook and other media. Help buttons include “Ask My Instructor” which will email your current question to me along with your comments. After using any help button work another question using the “Similar Exercise” button and keep practicing until you can work the problem without any assistance or notes. A minimum score of 80% is required to access the corresponding quiz. Raise your homework score by only reworking the problems you missed. Homework is available after its due date for 90% credit on the individual problems completed late. Quizzes are a good way to see if you understand the material and to reevaluate your study habits. Quizzes have 5 -7 problems randomly chosen from the homework without help buttons. To open a quiz a minimum 80% score on the corresponding homework is required. Quizzes may be taken three times with only the highest score counting. Review quizzes with help buttons immediately after submission and before closing. Quizzes will not be available after their due date. If you do not submit a quiz after starting it email me immediately to reset it for you. Your five lowest quiz scores will be dropped at the end of the semester. Chapter Reviews are a study guide to prepare for the test. They are worth points, may be taken repeatedly, and require a minimum 70% score to access the corresponding test, no exceptions! Closing instead of submitting allows you to reopen the review and continue working where you left off. After submitting, review it with help buttons before closing. Chapter Reviews are due the day before the test and will not be available after their due date. Study Guides for Tests are optional and only have the types of problems YOU missed on the Chapter Reviews. This is a good way to focus on your trouble spots. Tests require a minimum 70% Chapter Review score to open. Tests provide an opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of the chapter material and when to apply it. Tests are timed and once started must be completed. Tests may be taken twice with only the higher score counting. Even though tests may be taken at home, they are still "real" tests so use the “Honor System” (without notes, book, or help from another person). Review tests immediately after submission and before closing. Once started if your test is not submitted you will be locked out of all assignments, contact me immediately! Avoid problems, plan ahead, take tests early! 2 Exam Preps are a study guide to prepare you for the exam. They are worth points, may be taken repeatedly, and require a minimum 60% score to access the corresponding exam. Closing instead of submitting allows you to reopen it and continue working where you left off. After submitting, review it with help buttons before closing. Watch the due dates for the Exam Preps since they will not be available after their due date. PROCTORED EXAMS must be taken with supervision in a testing center. Exams demonstrate your understanding of the course material and when to apply it. Exams are multiple choice and may only be taken once. They have a 1 hour and 50 minute time limit and once started must be worked on continuously until completed. Calculators may be used and scratch paper will be provided; CAS calculators are not allowed such as TI - 89 or TI - Nspire. The MyMathLab “EXAMS” button has exams, exam information, and designated TCC testing sites. If you live at a distance, contact me at least two weeks before the exam to find a testing site for you at a college or university in your area; you are responsible for any fees at these other colleges. Plan ahead to avoid problems! Take exams early! Exams are worth a significant amount of points! Division Rules for all College Algebra Classes: The common final will be comprehensive utilizing MyMathLab. Students may not use their own books, notes, or scratch paper during this exam. To assist students in preparing for these exams, the following policies have been established. 1. The common final will be the only exam for this class given during finals week. 2. Each student should receive instructions for accessing a sample final. 3. Students may use a calculator. Calculators may not be shared and no other devices may be used. 4. Scratch paper and a list of standard formulas will be supplied with the College Algebra Final Exam. 5. To earn a grade of A, B, or C in this course, the department requires that you must also score at least 50% on the common final exam. Any exceptions to this must be appealed by your instructor to the Associate Dean. SUBMITTING ASSIGNMENTS: Assignments in MyMathLab will be graded when submitted. Credit will not be given for answers typed incorrectly or in the wrong format; pay attention to the blue print designating answers. Grades are accessible in the “View Your Grades” button. LATE ASSIGNMENTS AND MAKE-UP WORK: To keep the class equitable for all students, due dates for individuals will not be extended for any reason. Plan on taking assignments at least one day early to prevent loss of points due to last minute emergencies! Homework may be taken late for 90% credit; all other assignments will NOT be available after their due date. Assignments not completed on time receive a grade of zero. One lowest test and five lowest quiz scores will be dropped at the end of the semester. The final exam score completed by its due date may be used again to replace the midterm score if it is higher. GRADES: Your current average in the class is always available and accurate in the “View Your Grades” button. Click on the “Show Overall Score” button on the top. You can also check your grades on individual assignments however notice the default is only for assignments over the last two weeks; you may use the buttons to change the scope of assignments viewed. Ignore the total points earned as this is inaccurate until after the final. For assignments with multiple attempts only the highest score counts. EVALUATION TECHNIQUES: School of Science and Mathematics for TCC: Proctored exams and quizzes (which includes the final exam) will comprise a required minimum of 50% of the overall course grade for on-line, blended, or campus math courses. A proctored event is an exam or quiz that takes place under the direct supervision of an instructor or an instructor-approved proctor. I do not give grades, you earn them. Your grade represents your level of math knowledge demonstrated during the semester. It does not represent your worth as a person, your personality or intellect. You will determine your grade by two criteria: your score on the Final Exam and the number of points you earn. The Final Exam is a gateway test and you must answer at least half the questions correctly to be eligible to earn an A, B, or C for the course; considering 50% is an F, it is not a very high standard. If your Final Exam score is equal to or greater than 50% then your grading scale is: Grade: Points: A 2000 - 1800 B 1799 - 1600 C 1599 - 1400 D 1399 - 1200 F 1199 - 0 If your Final Exam score is less than 50% then your grading scale is: Grade: Points: D 2000 - 1200 F 1199 - 0 Points come from the following categories with the listed assignments: Categories with their assignments Subtotal Category % 300 15% 400 20% 1300 65% 2000 100% Homework category: 39 Homework – about 9 points each, drop 5 lowest scores 300 Quiz category: includes Quizzes, Chapter Reviews & Exam Preps 36 Quizzes - 9 points each, drop 5 lowest scores 279 7 Chapter Reviews - 12 points each 84 1 Exam Prep Midterm - 13 points 13 2 Exam Preps for Final - 12 points each 24 Test category: includes tests and exams. 7 Chapter Tests - 50 points each, drop one lowest score 2 Exams: Midterm 500 points and Final 500 points TOTAL 300 1000 2000 “CLASSROOM” ETIQUETTE/ NETIQUETTE: Open and mutually respectful communication of varied opinions, beliefs, and perspectives during classroom or online discussion encourages the free exchange of ideas that is essential to higher learning and to the ability to learn from each other. Remember kindness is a virtue! Use of any electronic device is at the discretion of the instructor. Be respectful, it makes everyone’s day better and reflects well on you. Facial signals, body language, and voice intonation are not available to interpret email, so it is easier to give the wrong impression. Offensive communications may not have been proofread for tone and are not intended to give offense. Please give the sender the benefit of the doubt. Stay on topic and within the scope of the course material. Use clear and concise language. Use sentences and avoid texting shortcuts. Use correct grammar and spelling in all college communications. Spell check is available in email. Use color and fonts that are easily readable. Avoid using ALL CAPITAL LETTERS as they can be perceived as the equivalent of yelling. You may format your text for emphasis. Use TCC email or the email features available inside of Blackboard or MyMathLab. If these resources are not available, and you must email from an outside account, clearly identify yourself and your class; also be aware delivery may be significantly delayed. Converse with others the same way you would in a traditional classroom. Harassment will not be tolerated. Refer to the Student Policies and Resources Handbook for general classroom expectations at http://www.tulsacc.edu/student-resources/student-handbook . 3 ATTENDANCE AND LEARNING OUTCOMES ATTENDANCE: Students receiving benefits from government agencies must adhere to policies stipulated by the specific agency. Attendance is measured by completion of course assignments by their due dates. Math is a long distance race not a sprint, pace yourself! Students who fail to complete an assignment with at least a 60% score in any two week period may be administratively withdrawn. TIME: Students who have successfully completed this class have spent an average of 6 hours a week working online in the course! Time will vary based on your previous knowledge and aptitude. Participation in this course via the Internet is the responsibility of the student. Due dates will not be extended for individual students. All assignments may be taken early! Taking assignments early provides time to get additional help, access another computer when tech problems occur, or work around a personal issue. NOTE: It is your responsibility to complete assignments on time or early! I will be contacting you throughout the semester by email. Blackboard and MyMathLab are available 24/7 with occasional down times for updates and technical corrections. What You Should Understand About Internet Classes The responsibility of teaching and learning falls heavily on YOU. Be realistic about the amount of time required to do the course work, 6 hours a week or more, REALLY! Schedule study times and have a plan to complete assignments at least one day early! Waiting until the last minute to complete assignments makes you very vulnerable to technical and personal problems and does not allow for time to get additional help or to access another computer if needed. ASK for help when you need help, immediately don’t wait for a test! Educational research has shown study times spread over several days work best so I recommend going online at least 3 days a week, everyday is best. Check your TCC email often and communicate with me as needed. Getting behind is frequently the death blow to success. If you don't have time to keep-up, it will be even harder to find time to catch-up. Read the syllabus, you must know how the class works to use it to your best advantage! Read and follow instructions carefully and immediately ask questions needed for clarification. Internet classes require that students be self-motivated and self-disciplined. If you have questions about internet classes take the Blackboard Learning Orientation at http://sites.google.com/site/blackboardstudentorientation/home\ ONLINE IS MORE FLEXIBLE, NOT EASIER STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: Find the domain and range of relations and functions; both graphically and algebraically. Perform operations on functions, including compositions. Analyze polynomial equations and inequalities; both graphically and algebraically. Perform matrix operations. Apply the properties of logarithms to solve exponential and logarithmic equations. Solve problems involving sequences and series. Analyze functions and relations including polynomial, piecewise, and conic sections; both graphically and algebraically. Analyze real-world situations using appropriate mathematical strategies. 4 TCC POLICIES ADMINISTRATIVE WITHDRAWL for NON-PARTICIPATION: Students will be withdrawn from the class with a grade of WN for non-participation if they have not participated in the class during the first week for 8-week classes and first two weeks for 16-week classes . For this class that means completing a math assignment in MyMathLab. The college reimbursement schedule also applies to online classes. DISABILITY RESOURCES: It is the policy and practice of Tulsa Community College to create inclusive learning environments. Accommodations for qualifying students in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act are available. To request accommodations, contact the Education Access Center (EAC) at [email protected] or call (918) 595-7115 (Voice). Deaf and hard of hearing students may text (918) 809-1864. Click on these links for TCC Disability Resources, Blackboard Accessibility Information and MyMathLab Accessibility FAQ . Links are also under the “Help” button on both Blackboard and MLP. COURSE WITHDRAWAL: The deadline to withdraw from a course shall not exceed 3/4 the duration of any class. Contact the Counseling Office at any TCC campus to initiate withdrawal from a course ('W' grade) or to change from Credit to Audit. Check the TCC Academic Calendar for deadlines at http://www.tulsacc.edu/programs-courses/academic-calendar . Students who stop participating in the course and fail to withdraw may receive a course grade of “F”, which may have financial aid consequences for the student. ACADEMIC DISHONESTY: Academic dishonesty (cheating) is defined as the deception of others about one’s own work or about the work of another. Academic dishonesty or misconduct is not condoned or tolerated at campuses within the Tulsa Community College system. Tulsa Community College adopts a policy delegating certain forms of authority for disciplinary action to the faculty. Such disciplinary actions delegated to the faculty include, but not limited to, the dismissal of disrespectful or disorderly students from classes. In the case of academic dishonesty, a faculty member may: ∎ Require the student to redo an assignment or test, or require the student to complete a substitute assignment or test; ∎ Record a “zero” for the assignment or test in question; ∎ Recommend to the student that the student withdraw from the class, or administratively withdraw the student from the class; ∎ Record a grade of "F" for the student at the end of the semester. Faculty may request that disciplinary action be taken against a student at the administrative level by submitting such a request to the Dean of Student Services. Course Drop or Withdrawal: A student who has been found responsible for academic dishonesty in a course may not drop or withdraw from the course. If the student processes a drop or withdrawal from the course, the action will be reversed and the appropriate grade will be recorded on the student's transcript. EMAIL: All TCC students receive a designated TCC email address, for example: [email protected]. All communications to you about TCC and course assignments will be sent to your TCC email address. You must use TCC email to send email to, and receive email from, the instructor regarding this course. To access TCC email go to MyTCC at https:// mytcc.tulsacc.edu . For information about TCC email for students, click here for TCC IT instructions . INCLEMENT WEATHER: If extreme weather conditions or emergency situations arise, TCC gives cancellation notices to radio and television stations. This information is also posted on the TCC website at http://www.tulsacc.edu and sent via TCC Emergency Alerts. Register to receive TCC Alerts from the MyTCC home page at https://tcc.bbcportal.com/ . GENERAL EDUCATION GOALS: General Education courses at TCC ensure that our graduates gain skills, knowledge, and abilities that comprise a common foundation for their higher education and a backdrop for their work and personal lives. TCC’s General Education Goals are: Communication Skills, Critical Thinking, Empirical Skills, Teamwork, Personal Responsibility, and Social Responsibility. INSTITUTIONAL STATEMENT: Each student is responsible for being aware of the information contained in the TCC Catalog, the TCC Student Policies & Resources Handbook, and semester information listed in the class schedule. All information may be viewed on the TCC website at http://www.tulsacc.edu/ . TOBACCO FREE COLLEGE: Tulsa Community College is a Tobacco Free college in accordance with the Governor’s Executive Order 2012-01 and Title 63 of the Oklahoma Statutes, Section 1-1523 which prohibits smoking or the use of any tobacco products in all public places, in any indoor workplace, and all vehicles owned by the State of Oklahoma and all of its agencies and instrumentalities. This Order includes property leased, rented, or owned by TCC including, but not limited to, all grounds, buildings, facilities, and parking lots. Tulsa Community College’s policy includes a tobacco free environment on all campus and off-campus locations conducting TCC credit or non-credit classes. The TCC Campus Police is responsible for ensuring compliance with the Tobacco-Free Environment Policy. Violations of the policy may be addressed through issuance of campus or state citations. SYLLABUS CHANGES: Occasionally, changes to the syllabus may be necessary. Students will be notified of any changes to the syllabus in writing. 5 Enroll In MyMathLab — Tech Help Information MyMathLab will open on the first day of class and will NOT be available earlier.
