Course Requirements: Students enrolled in this course must have a Compass Algebra exit
score of 37, an SAT Math score of 480 or higher, or an ACT score of 20 or higher.
Grades and Student Evaluations: Students enrolled in the Division of Science and
Mathematics will be expected to demonstrate an understanding of subject matter requiring higher
order processing skills. Examination questions may include essay, synthesis, and application; as
well as completion, multiple choice, true-false and matching. Computational skills and drawing
or diagramming may also be required. ALL tests are given in the evening at 6:30 on the
stated Test Day in Bowen Hall, room 100.
Homework is assigned through MyMathLab and from the text. Both are required and collected
for a grade and should be used as review for each test. Test dates can be found on the calendar
portion of the syllabus. TI-83 is required for this class (or equivalent calculator). Instruction is
given for the TI-83/TI-84 only. Cell phones, pagers and all other electronic communication
devices must be turned OFF and put away during class each day. No hats ore other head-gear is
allowed on exam day. Cheating or dishonesty will not be tolerated. Students found cheating
will receive a zero on the test, quiz, or homework on which they were cheating. There will be no
make-up quizzes, homework, or computer work! Late homework will not be accepted,
however, the lowest homework grade will be dropped. If an hourly exam is missed, the final
exam may be substituted for the missed exam. Exceptions may be granted on an individual basis
only if extreme circumstances render it necessary. These circumstances must be accompanied by
appropriate documentation and must be cleared with the instructor prior to testing. Learning
disabilities should be brought to the instructor’s attention and arrangements made for special
needs the first week of classes.
Tobacco and Smoke-Free Campus Policy: In accordance with the Georgia Free Air Act of
2005, Title 31, Chapter 12A, this policy reinforces the USG commitment to provide a safe and
amicable workplace for all employees. The goal of the policy is to preserve and improve the
health, comfort and environment of students, employees and any persons occupying our
campuses. The use of all forms of tobacco products on property owned, leased, rented, in the
possession of, or in any way used by the USG or its affiliates is expressly prohibited. “Tobacco
Products” is defined as cigarettes, cigars, pipes, all forms of smokeless tobacco, clove cigarettes
and any other smoking devices that use tobacco such as hookahs or simulate the use of tobacco
such as electronic cigarettes.
Students are expected to:
- arrive for class with proper tools (text book, notebook, pencil, calculator)
- keep personal phone out of sight and on silent during class time (speak with your
instructor before class should you experience an emergency)
- refrain from cursing during class
- be in class on time (two tardies count as one absence)
- treat faculty in a kind and courteous manner
- complete assignments on the assigned date
- be attentive and actively participate in class
- wear no hats or other head gear on exam day
Faculty are expected to:
- begin class on time
- be prepared for class (text book, markers, calculator, handouts)
- treat students in a kind and courteous manner
- provide students with a schedule of events
Repercussions – students will be asked to leave class and will be marked absent for the day
if:
- they arrive in class without tools
- they are found sleeping, cursing, or engaging in disruptive behavior
- they are texting or receiving phone calls during class (except for emergencies)
All members of the ABAC community have an obligation to promote an atmosphere in which
teaching and learning can take place in an orderly and efficient manner. To maintain this
learning environment, individuals must refrain from behavior that disrupts the teaching and
learning process. In order to assure the rights of all students to benefit from time spent in class,
faculty members have the right and responsibility to excuse from a class session any individual
whose behavior disrupts the teaching and learning process. Serious or continued infractions may
result in referral of the student for disciplinary action by the student judiciary or appropriate
administrative officer.
Absences: Two tardies count as one absence. A record of your attendance will be kept and sent
to the Registrar with your final grade. In order for an absence to be excused, provide
documentation such as a doctor’s excuse, authorization from the vice-president, etc. in order to
help the instructor make a fair evaluation.
