Please expect to spend at least 1-15 hours each week on this course (this is for fall and spring semester courses; double this time commitment for summer courses). If your other life commitments do not allow you this amount of time to spend on the course, you may want to choose another course or delivery method.

Pay specific attention to the sections on plagiarism and academic dishonesty.

INSTRUCTIONAL METHOD / EXAMINATIONS / ASSIGNMENTS and GRADING:
Online homework (10% of your total grade): All homework is in MyStatLab. After registering, click on the "homework" button found on the homepage. Your first homework called "HW 1" is over how to enter homework answers. This assignment will not be due, it is just to help you get use to using MyStatLab . The first section in each chapter does not have any homework problems so all of your HW assignments will start with section 2. It is still important to read the first section in each chapter. Online homework must be submitted before midnight CST on the due date. The due dates for the online homework, quizzes, and tests will be listed on MyStatlab. Three lowest homework grades will be dropped.
Online Quizzes (15% of your total grade): Your first Online quiz is in Blackboard. It is an Orientation Quiz over the syllabus and orientation material located in Blackboard. The rest of your quizzes will be over two or three homework sections. These quizzes are short and are timed. They are located in MyStatLab. A total of 12 Quizzes will be given. Two lowest quiz grades will be dropped.
Online Tests (25 % of your total grade): A minimum of 4 online tests will be completed in MyStatLab by the due date(s) indicated in MyStatlab. Online tests may only be accessed once and will be timed. All Online work (HW, Quizzes, and Tests) must be submitted before midnight CST on the due date. The project it will count the same as an online test.
Keep on track: All homework, quizzes and tests are open and can be started early. You may work ahead. Do not to wait until the last minute to start an assignment so that if you are ill or have technical difficulities you are not put in a bind.
I DO NOT ACCEPT LATE WORK, NOR DO I GIVE ANY EXTRA CREDIT!
Paper Exams (50% of your final grade; each worth 25% of the final grade): The midterm and final exams are proctored exams (Not online). These exams are taken at the Washington Street Campus or can be proctored at an approved testing site. Hereford Campus and Moore County Campus have been used by students in the past. You will be required to provide a photo ID to take an exam. Keep in mind your paper exams are 50% of your final grade so be sure you are doing your own homework, quizzes, and online tests so you can do well on the paper exams! If you need to take your midterm and final exam somewhere other than the Washington Street Campus math testing center, you must make arrangements with me! You can email me to make arrangements.
