Plagiarism and cheating will not be tolerated in any math course at Amarillo College. On the first day of class, you will be required to sign and date a Course Contract. Included in the contract is the following statement: "I fully understand that if I cheat, or attempt to cheat, on any test, I will receive an automatic "F" in the course. This grade will go on my permanent transcript and cannot be removed. Cheating includes, but is not limited to: the use of a cell phone, notes, notecards, or books during an exam, copying work from another student, or leaving the classroom or Math Testing Center with a test or questions from a test. Cheating also includes helping, or attempting to help, other students cheat on a test". You will not be allowed to take your tests until this contract is signed and on file with your instructor. Please Note: NO CELL PHONES may be used during an exam in class or in the Math Testing Lab. If your phone is out at any time for any reason during while in the Testing Room, you will receive an automatic "F" for the course.

Any student having trouble maintaining the pace should seek extra help from the instructor and/or a tutor.

Your course average (A: 100 - 90; B: 89 - 80; C: 79 - 70; D: 69 - 60; F: Below 60) will be calculated using the above scale.
Homework:
Expect to have homework assigned at the end of each section. Late homework will not be accepted. The point of homework in this course is to have the student practice the necessary methods, techniques, and critical thinking over fundamental topics. To hold the student accountable to their work, the homework will be graded on a completion basis.
Written Lab Assignments:
Labs will consist of completing written lab assignments covering the concepts we have discussed in lecture. Usually, these problems require a deeper understanding of the basic concepts to be practiced in the homework. Students will be allowed to work in groups during lab time. Attendance in lab is mandatory for the corresponding lab assignment to be graded; however, you may leave early if you turn in the finished lab assignment. Written assignments will be submitted in class and graded by the instructor. Detailed instructions on format for written assignments will be given in class. Assignment deadlines will be announced as material is covered. I may not accept late lab assignments.
Exams:
Four (4) major exams and a mandatory comprehensive final will be given during the semester. Make-up tests may not be given. If an exam is missed, the grade will be replaced with the score you make on the final exam. This policy applies to one exam only. If you miss more than one exam, a grade of zero will be averaged for the other missed exams. If you do not miss any exam during the semester, the grade on the mandatory final exam, if higher, will replace the lowest exam grade.
If you know ahead of time that you will be missing an exam, you may schedule to take the exam early. Only under extenuating, verifiable circumstances and at the discretion of the instructor will an exam be given early.
In accordance with Mathematics Department policy, students making below a 70 on a major exam will be required to spend a minimum of one hour in the Outreach Center (Durr 104) correcting errors on that exam. Time spent in the Outreach Center will be monitored by the instructor and must be completed in order to take any subsequent exams.
Daily attendance is required in both lecture and lab. Students must sign into lecture and sign out after lab. It is the responsibility of the student to sign the attendance sheet daily.
Students who miss class will not be permitted to turn in assignments due that day. You must stay for the duration of the lab. If you are absent or leave early, you will receive a zero for that lab assignment.
Note that the last day to drop for Fall 2017 is November 21. Students who stop attending class and do not officially drop will receive a grade of F if their average falls below a 60.
Tentative Schedule: This schedule is subject to change by the instructor at any time.
Prerequisites: The prerequisites for this course should read "Math 1414" not "Math 1314".
