This syllabus says that your instructor is Ms. Velicky or Mr. Fleming, she/he is not. She/he is the person in charge of all math syllabus in our department. The College appends other information to all College syllabus, and she is the only one in the math department who has the password to create any additions or changes to math syllabi. For this reason, I created an addendum to the syllabus.

You MUST have either a TI-83 or a TI-84 graphing calculator (any model like PLUS or SILVER or COLOR, just so the number is 83 or 84) and bring it with you to EVERY class period.
When you take a test in the Hub, they will give you a TI-84 calculator with preloaded programs: FIXCALC and QUAD. At your earliest convenience (No later than the day you decide to take the first test), please have me or someone in the Math Hub download these programs to your TI calculator. RUN the program FIXCALC on the calculator they give you when you take a test in the HUB.

Free virtual tutoring available
In addition to the
Math Hub Tutoring Center, the Success Center, and other campus resources, the
College has arranged FREE tutoring for online
students through Brainfuse. Currently, students
must link to the resource through D2L. The College is working on
establishing a separate login. For now, to take advantage on this
resource
Weights on Course Assignments
| Online Unit Tests/Quizzes | 54%/6% | |
| Online Homework | 20% | please do some homework each day |
| Final Exam | 20% | Multiple choice test, in-class paper test |
Online tests must be taken in the Hub (Testing Center)
The testing center
will provide you with a formula sheet when you take the test there.
If
you cannot take a Unit Test during the availability dates, CONTACT ME ASAP;
otherwise, you will receive a ZERO on the Unit
Test...if that happens, there is almost no chance of you
passing the course. Your password-protected test MUST be
proctored in a testing center. These tests are not timed,
but you must finish before the Hub closes. If the Hub closes at 8:30 PM,
you must start the test by 7:30 PM. The assistants in the Hub are
instructed not to let you take within one hour of closing time.
To encourage
you not to procrastinate, I will add 3 points to your test grade if
you take the test within THREE (3) days of the tests availability; I will add
TWO (2) points if you do not wait until the late day to take the
test. Please make sure you have a FDTC ID before using the Math Hub for
testing or free tutoring.
Online quizzes are not proctored and not password protected
You may take
the quizzes as often as you like to improve your quiz grade...these are timed
(120 minutes) and there is a due date. They are good practice before
taking a unit test.

< 89.5
C: 69.5 ≤ X < 79.5

W: I will withdraw you from my course
with a grade of W if (1) you
have missed 3 or more classes before March
25, have less than a 70 average on homework, and less than a 60
average on tests OR (2) if you have have six (6) absences, I will withdraw you
from the course regardless of grades earned. I define being tardy as
missing more than 20 minutes of class OR missing more than 10 minutes
of class two times in a row. I will count being tardy times as an absence.
I will strictly enforce this policy after the first week of
classes. A grade of W does not affect your GPA.
WF: Any withdrawal after March 25 results in a WF which equals an F. A W does not affect your GPA, but a WF does.
