TEACHING METHODS Class time will consist of lecture with discussion, examples, and opportunities to practice problems and ask questions. I appreciate your efforts in responding to my questions, and your classmates’ questions. I strongly encourage you to ask questions and make comments on the material presented or on the homework problems; the course will be more interesting with your participation.

Homework Homework will be assigned through the Pearson MyLab & Mastering (MyStatLab) online system. The MML program will grade each assignment as soon as you complete it. You do not need to turn in any homework to the instructor. There will be an assignment for most textbook sections.

Textbook section homework assignments have specific due dates which are based on our schedule through the course. You can work on assignments after the due date, but doing the homework as the course proceeds will best prepare you for the tests and final exam.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY OR MISCONDUCT Academic dishonesty (cheating) is defined as the deception of others about one’s own work or about the work of another. Academic dishonesty or misconduct is not condoned or tolerated at campuses within the Tulsa Community College system. Tulsa Community College adopts a policy delegating certain forms of authority for disciplinary action to the faculty. Such disciplinary actions delegated to the faculty include, but are not limited to, the dismissal of disrespectful or disorderly students from classes. In the case of academic dishonesty a faculty member may:  Require the student to redo an assignment or test, or require the student to complete a substitute assignment or test;  Record a "zero" for the assignment or test in question;  Recommend to the student that the student withdraw from the class, or administratively withdraw the student from the class;  Record a grade of "F" for the student at the end of the semester. Faculty may request that disciplinary action be taken against a student at the administrative level by submitting such a request to the Dean of Student Services.
