Calculators: Scientific calculators with no more than a basic numeric store and recall memory are allowed on inclass tests. The following are prohibited on any in-class test: graphing calculators, programmable calculators, or
calculators capable of symbolic manipulation, computers, cell phones, and any other
communication device that can connect to the Internet. In particular, prohibited calculators include the TI89,
TI92, TI-Nspire, HP 48SX, HP 48GX, as well as other models and brands.
Permanent Folder: In case of human or computer error, it is recommended that you keep all homework and
exams in a folder until you have received a grade for the course.
Attendance: Class attendance is expected, but not required. Ordinarily, regular attendance is essential to
achieve satisfactory results. It is the students responsibility to be aware of all material covered, tests dates,
and assignment due dates.
Classroom Deportment: Each student is responsible for their own behavior. Any student who shows a
pattern of disrespect for others, or who at any time displays egregious disrespect for others, will be subject
to penalties as per the student code of conduct: http://www.slcc.edu/policies/docs/stdtcode.pdf.
Cheating Policy: Cheating on any assignment will result in a failing grade on that assignment and possibly
a failing grade in the class. Please consult the student code of conduct pages 39-41 where this topic is
addressed. The link is: http://www.slcc.edu/policies/docs/Student Code of Conduct.pdf.
Withdrawal Policy: Students may drop from the course through May 31, 2016. Students may withdraw
from the course through June 30, 2016. No withdrawals will be approved after that date. That means I will
not sign late withdrawal forms.
Extra Help: College Algebra is a challenging course, but the methods for success are simple: read the text,
participate in class, and keep up on assignments. Many students find that forming study groups with other
students is a very effective way for them to master mathematics. If you need extra help, free tutoring is
available in the Learning Centers (phone 957-4172) at Redwood Campus LIB-40, South Campus N308,
Sandy Campus Bldg. B, and Jordan Campus Room 102. A list of private tutors who may be hired is available
in the Learning Centers.
