GRADING A very important element in the learning process will be class participation and discussion related to the chapters assigned including but not limited to the related problems and assignments. Therefore, it is critical that you have completed the assigned reading and homework prior to class. During the class, students may be called upon to explain chapter topics, answer questions or present solutions to homework. Grades will be determined on a standard percentage scale as follows: A 100-94 B 86-84 C 76-74 D 66-64 A- 93-90 B- 83-80 C- 73-70 D- 63-60 B+ 89-87 C+ 79-77 D+ 69-67 F <60 The points will be earned as follows: Exam 1 100 Exam 2 100 Exam 3 100 Final Exam 200 Quizzes 50 Homework 50 Team Project 100 Total 700 EXAMINATIONS Students are responsible for all textbook material covered, assigned outside reading, and all material discussed in class. Exams will consist primarily of problems, short answers, and multiple-choice questions. There are not makeup exams. If you miss an exam, you will receive an exam score equal to the average of your two (2) lowest exams. Extra Credit A maximum of 50 extra credit points can be earned. These extra credit points will be based on attendance and class participation. In addition to the homework assigned from the textbook, additional problems, readings, and web-based research will be assigned from time to time. Students need to be prepared to discuss all assignments in class. Quizzes There will be a minimum of five (5) quizzes worth ten (10) points each. You will be able to select the five highest quizzes and drop the others. However, to receive credit for a quiz you must be in class for the entire period. There will be no make ups given for any missed quiz. Collected quizzes, as a general rule, will not be returned. Homework Homework is designed to reinforce concepts from class lecture and the text. Students are expected to complete the chapter assignments listed on the syllabus. Together the class will work through selected homework problems. You may study and work on homework together, but each individual student must submit homework individually. Students will randomly be chose to provide their solutions to the class. Additionally, I will periodically (randomly) collect and/or review either all or a portion of the homework due on the specified day. Please make sure that you do each problem on a separate page and keep a copy for your records to use in studying for exams since the homework that is collected will not, as a general rule, be returned. Homework will be worth ten (10) points for the homework collected for the specific chapter. There will be a minimum of five (5) homework problem(s) collected and you will be able to select the five highest scores and drop the others. To receive maximum points, presentation, completeness, and neatness counts. All problems should be clearly presented and any written aspects must be typed. To receive credit, only homework submitted at the beginning of class will be considered. Participation and Professional Classroom Conduct The classroom is a special environment in which students and faculty come together to promote learning and growth. It is essential to this learning environment that respect for the rights of others seeking to learn, respect for the professionalism of the instructor, and the general goals of academic freedom are maintained. Differences of viewpoint or concerns should be expressed in terms, which are supportive of the learning process, creating an environment in which students and faculty may learn to reason with clarity and compassion, to share themselves without losing their identities, and to develop an understanding of the community in which they live. Student conduct, which disrupts the learning process, shall not be tolerated and may lead to disciplinary action and/or removal from class. All cell phones, pages, and other communication devices are NOT permitted to be used in class at any time. Academic Integrity In accordance with the CSU Channel Islands policy on academic dishonesty, students in this course who submit work or others as their own (plagiarize), cheat on tests and examinations, help other students cheat or plagiarize, or commit other acts of academic dishonesty will receive appropriate academic penalties, up to and including failing the course. Students with Disabilities "Students with Disabilities needing accommodation, make requests to Disability Accommodation Services, East Bell Tower, Room 1769, Telephone (805) 437-3331, or email - accomodations@csuci.edu). Please discuss approved accommodations with me." ALWAYS BRING YOUR TEXTBOOK AND A CALCULATOR TO CLASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lecture Outline: This schedule is tentative and will be modified whenever developments indicate that a change is desirable. All changes to the syllabus will be announced on Blackboard or in class, or both. At the end of each chapter, there are a series of questions under the Concepts, Review and Critical Thinking Questions. During the course of each lecture some or all of these concepts will be discussed. Even though these questions will not be listed as specific homework, each student needs to understand these concepts and should be prepared to discuss them in class.
