Course Activities
In this course students will:
Ø Participate in fundamental coursework which consists of classroom and online instruction.
Ø Complete individual homework assignments and take end of unit exams.
Ø Demonstrate a sense of community responsibility and a work ethic based on consistent class attendance and punctuality, and group activities.
Ø Evaluation - Grades will be based on the quality and completion of these tasKS:
Minimum of 80% mastery for every objective. There are 24 objectives for Math 0143.
Receipt of a P (Pass) signifies that the minimum 80% mastery for all objectives has been met, a passing grade (70%) on the final exam was achieved and participation points were obtained, resulting in a P (pass) on your transcript.
Receipt of a NP signifies 79% or below on some objectives or not all objectives/course requirements were met, the final exam did not receive a passing grade and/or participation points were not obtained resulting in a NP (No Pass) on your transcript.
Receipt of an I (Incomplete) signifies that additional coursework is needed to finish the course. An I may not be awarded, if a student is failing the course. Also, the student must have completed 3/4 of the required coursework and not have excessive (more than 5) absences.
*The student’s grade for this assignment will be used in the university’s assessment of student learning. A 70% competency or higher receives a Pass rating. This Pass/Fail rating is independent of the student’s course grade.
Daily and/or weekly quizzes, small weekly assignments and similar type projects:
Normal return time to student by next class meeting or no later than one (1) week.
Extensive assignments, large lab projects, extensive quizzes, exams and similar type
projects: Normal return time to students in one (1) to two (2) weeks.
RECOMMENDED STUDENT COMPETENCIES/SKILLS
Students should have adequate reading and problem-solving skills that will facilitate understanding of the material required in the course.
AUTHORIZED TOOLS
Students may use any/all course materials, including e-book, calculator and notes, while participating in classroom activities.
LATE WORK
This is a self-paced course. Late work penalties are as follows:
1. / / % penalty for up to / / day(s) late2. / / % penalty for up to / / day(s) late
3. / / % penalty for up to / / day(s) late
4. / / % penalty for more than / / day(s) late
However, all 24 objectives and Final Exam must be mastered on or before the last day of class in this semester.
TESTING
Chapter tests and Final Exam will be taken only in the classroom. It will be considered academically dishonest if a test is taken outside the class. See Academic Dishonesty.
