ATTENDANCE: I will not penalize you for occasional absences or occasional tardiness. Yet, I reserve the right to<br />
drop any student who is consistently absent or makes a habit of being late to class on a regular basis. If you miss<br />
class for any reason, it is your responsibility to obtain the notes and/or any handouts you may have missed.<br />
QUIZZES: There will be five scheduled quizzes during the quarter. There are no make up quizzes. If you miss a<br />
quiz for any reason, then your final exam will carry more weight toward your overall course grade. Quizzes will be<br />
based on homework, lecture, and the online content. There may also be some pop-quizzes. Your four highest<br />
announced quiz scores plus pop-quizzes will be added together to comprise your total quiz score grade.<br />
EXAMS: There will be one midterm exam. There are no make up exams, even if the absence is excused. If you<br />
miss the exam, then your final exam will carry more weight towards your overall course grade.<br />
HOMEWORK: Homework will be assigned, but will not be collected. Even though it is not directly used in the<br />
calculation of your grade, you are responsible for the topics covered in all homework problems assigned.<br />
MINITAB LABS: The use of computers to analyze and interpret data is an essential part of learning <strong>statistics</strong>. To<br />
this end, we will be using the Minitab software package to do five lab assignments.<br />
A NOTE ABOUT THE EXAMS: If for any reason (including, but not limited to, natural disaster or construction) the<br />
campus closes at the time of an exam (including, but not limited to, the final exam) and/or an exam must be<br />
cancelled for any reason, then your grade will be based on all other work done in the class. If you miss the final<br />
exam your grade for the course will be an F. Proper identification (current driver's license or passport) may be<br />
checked on exam days. Not having proper identification at any exam time will be equivalent to not showing up for<br />
that exam. THE FINAL EXAM WILL BE COMPREHENSIVE. NO EARLY OR LATE FINALS ARE ALLOWED.<br />
ADDING/DROPPING: In every case, a student is responsible for dropping him/herself. You should not assume that<br />
you are automatically dropped from the class for non-attendance. Students on the final grade roster who have not<br />
dropped themselves through Admissions & Records, and who do not show up for the final exam, automatically<br />
receive an F in the course. I DO NOT MAKE EXCEPTIONS TO DEADLINES SET BY ADMISSIONS AND RECORDS<br />
FOR ADDING & DROPPING COURSES.<br />
CLASS CONDUCT: Cheating is absolutely prohibited in my class! Looking at someone else's exam, helping another<br />
student during an exam, talking to anyone except me during an exam, or using an external source of information for<br />
which you were not explicitly given permission, will result in an instructor drop or an F grade for the course. Cheating<br />
incidents will also be reported to the Dean of Students. The math department does not allow use of certain<br />
calculators during testing. The use of any calculator other than those that are specified by your instructor [whether<br />
intentional or not] is another example of academic dishonesty and grounds for an F in the course. If you do not<br />
understand what the word "cheating" means, please ask me for the school information sheet on academic honesty.<br />
Cell phones or pda's are not allowed to be used during any exam or quiz. Any person exhibiting rude behavior,<br />
excessive noise/talking, arriving late or other actions that detract from a positive environment for learning will subject<br />
that person to immediate and permanent dismissal from the class. Cell phones and pagers must be turned off during<br />
class.<br />
SOURCES OF HELP / MATH CENTER: One of the main reasons students have trouble with this course is their<br />
reluctance to obtain help when they need it. There are many sources of help for everyone. I am your first source; I<br />
am willing to do whatever I can to help you with all aspects of your education, especially this course. Even if you<br />
don't have an appointment, treat my open door as your invitation to come in and ask any questions you might<br />
have. The Math Center(located in room 4215) is available to all students enrolled at <strong>Foothill</strong> <strong>College</strong> and may be<br />
your greatest asset as a student enrolled in math courses at <strong>Foothill</strong> <strong>College</strong>. Faculty and staff with <strong>mathematics</strong><br />
backgrounds will help you with your math questions in a supportive environment. The Math hours are posted outside<br />
the room. For more information, call (650) 949-7042.<br />
CHANGES: All rules, regulations, and/or grading scales mentioned are subject to change. Any such change will not<br />
take place without a proper announcement about such change (or changes) during a class meeting. If you miss a<br />
class for any reason, you will still be accountable for the announcements regarding changes to the syllabus made<br />
during the class missed.
