HOW THE CLASS WORKS GETTING STARTED: ∎ The first two assignments in MyMathLabPlus are due on the first Tuesday of the semester. ∎ There is a free temporary access code so everyone can start on time! ∎ MyLabsPlus enrollment instructions are on page 6 and Blackboard at https://portal.tulsacc.edu . ∎ MyLabsPlus is at http://tulsacc.mylabsplus.com ; instructions to proceed are on the first page. 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 MyLabsPlus “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 MyLabsPlus. 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 will be supplied. 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 MyLabsPlus 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 Gradebook 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: Department Policy: 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. Recorded grades will be preceded with a D to designate the class as developmental. If your Final Exam score is equal to or greater than 50% then your grading scale is:
Grade: Points:
DA 2000 - 1800
DB 1799 - 1600
DC 1599 - 1400
DD 1399 - 1200
DF 1199 - 0
If your Final Exam score is less than 50% then your grading scale is:
Grade: Points:
DD 2000 - 1200
DF 1199 - 0
Points come from the following categories with the listed assignments:

“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 MyLabsPlus. 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

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 MyMathLabPlus 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

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:
