Grading Policies:
The student is responsible for logging into the website and accessing material.
There will be 4 chapter exams (chapters 2, 3, 4, and 5), each worth 60 points for a total of 240 points.
The online homework for each chapter is worth 40 points, for a total of 160 points.
Evaluation Summary:

Grades are based on the following percentage scale:

90 -100 A

80 - 89 B

70 - 79 C

60 - 69 D

0 - 59 F

The homework assignments from the textbook are all odd numbered problems. Note: These are an aid for you, but do not count towards your grade. All these odd numbered problems are worked out in detail in the solution manual (see button labeled Solution Manual). The course compass tutors can help you with any of these odd numbered problems. Course compass has videos, power points, etc. for most topics (see button labeled Multimedia Library).

The online practice exam has 20 problems that are similar to your chapter exam (It does NOT count towards your grade.).
Graded Homework Assignments
These homework assignments are to be done online. They will be automatically scored and the results sent to your instructor. They are found under the Graded Homework and Exams Button. There are 2 homework versions for each section of material assigned. These are Version A and Version B. You may do A and/orB.The highest score of the versions taken will be used to calculate your homework grade for the chapter.

Also note the button labeled Example Homework Solution Packets. These packets contain manually worked out (all steps shown) solutions to problems that are similar to the graded homework and practice exams.

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 are 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 request to the Dean of Student Services.

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:
