Labels are handed out by the instructor prior to the exam.  Testing Center hours: - Monday through Thursday: open 8:00a.m. – Last Exam given out: 6:30p.m. Center closes: 8:00pm – Exams turned in 7:55pm. - Friday: open 8:00a.m. – Last Exam given out: 3:30p.m. Center closes: 5:00pm – Exams turned in 4:55pm. Make sure you arrive before 6:30 M-Th. (3:30 Fri.) since the testing center employees are very prompt and unbending.  Students should take exams as early as possible during the allotted time frame, as the center can get extremely busy. YOU WILL NOT BE ADMITTED IF YOU FORGET YOUR LABEL OR YOUR SUNCARD!!!!!

Exams: There will be three midterm exams given during the semester. All exams will be taken outside of class in the Math Testing Center. Testing Center labels will be handed out in class prior to each exam. Your calculator program memory may be viewed during any exam and will be cleared if anything suspicious is written therein. Exam topics and dates are listed below: Test 1: Thursday, Feb 7th and Friday, Feb. 8th, covers 2.1-3.3 Test 2: Thursday, March 7th and Friday, March 8th, covers 4.1-6.2 Test 3: Tuesday, April 9th and Wednesday, April 10th, covers 6.3-7.4.

Make up exams are given at the discretion of the instructor and only in case of verified medical or other emergency, which must be documented. The instructor must be notified before the test is given. Notify the instructor or call the Math Department Office (480) 965-3951 and leave a message The final exam will be on the date listed in the ASU schedule of Classes Spring2002, p.36. There will be no make-ups given for the final, and no finals will be rescheduled for personal reasons.

Course weighs and grade scale: The three tests are worth 50% of total grade. Homework assignments and in-class activities (including quizzes, group work, attendance, etc.) are worth 25% of total grade. The final exam is cumulative (including 7.5-8.4) and is worth 25% of total grade. Grade scale: A  90%  100% C  70%  79% E  Under 60% B  80%  89% D  60%  69%

Graphing Calculator: A graphing calculator is recommended for this course.  The preferred model is the CASIO 9850GB Plus.  Calculators with QWERTY keyboards or those that do symbolic algebra, such as Casio FX2 or 9970Gs cannot be used in class or during the exams.  Graphing Calculator Workshops – You may attend either of these sessions: January 22, 3 – 5 P.M. For CFX-9850GB Plus in Murdock Hall, Room 101 January 23, 3 – 5 P.M. For CFX-9850GB Plus in Murdock Hall, Room 201

Student Resources: Tutor Center: The Math Tutor Center in PSA 116 will be open M-Th 8:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m., Fri. 8:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m., Sat. and Sun. noon - 4:00 p.m. Come for help before it is too late, and several days before an exam day if you need help. In order to be admitted to the Tutor Center each student must have a valid ASU "Sun Card"

ASU Learning Resource Center (LRC): The LRC provides counseling, tutoring in math (and many other subjects), supplemental instruction, and other types of support to students. It is located in the Student Services Building Room 394A and is open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Check out its services at http://www.asu.edu/vpsa/lrc.

Math Testing Center: The Mathematics Department Testing Center is in PSA 21 (basement). In order to be admitted to the Testing Center, each student must have a valid ASU Sun Card and an official testing center label. The testing center is open 8am - 6:28pm M-Th and 8am - 3:28pm Fri. Make sure you arrive before 6:25 M-Th (3:25 Fri.) since the testing center employees are very prompt and unbending. Students should take exams as early as possible during the allotted time frame, as the center can get extremely busy.

Homework, Quizzes & Projects: Homework will be collected and graded. Students may work together on homework, but each individual student is required to write-up and turn in their own work. No late homework will be accepted. Students are also responsible for reading each section before it is taught in class. Quizzes are given at the discretion of the instructor and frequently reflect material that has recently been discussed in class, thus further encouraging regular attendance. First Year Mathematics Courses: Spring Semester 2002 Departmental and University Policies and Procedures

Monday, February 4 Friday, February 8 Restricted withdrawal: Friday, March 29 Restricted complete withdrawal: Thursday, April 25

Departmental Drop Back: Based on results of a readiness test and advising from the course instructor, a student may elect to drop back to a lower level math course before the drop back deadline. The student should go to the Undergraduate Mathematics Office in PS A211 to initiate a drop back request.

Unrestricted Withdrawal: A student may withdraw from a course with a grade of W during the unrestricted withdrawal period. The instructor's signature is not required.

Restricted Withdrawal: In order to withdraw during this period, the student must obtain the instructor's signature. A grade of W will be assigned only if the student is doing acceptable work at the time of the request. Otherwise, the student will receive an E.

The grade of Incomplete: A grade of incomplete will be awarded only in the event that a documented emergency or illness prevents the student who is doing acceptable work from completing a small percentage of the course requirements. The guidelines in the current general ASU catalog regarding a grade of incomplete will be strictly followed.

Instructor-Initiated Drop: At the instructor's discretion, any student who has not attended class during the first week of classes may be administratively dropped from the course. However, students should be aware that non-attendance would NOT automatically result in their being dropped from the course. Thus, a student should not assume they are no longer registered for a course simply because they did not attend class during the first week. It is the student's responsibility to be aware of their registration status.

Final Exam Make-up Policy: The final exam schedule listed in the Schedule of Classes will be strictly followed. Exceptions to the schedule and requests for make-up examinations can be granted only by the Department Chair, Associate Department Chair or the Director of First Year Mathematics, and for one of the following reasons: 1. Religious conflict (e.g., the student celebrates the Sabbath on Saturday) 2. The student has more than three exams scheduled on the same day as the math final 3. There is a time conflict between the math final and another final exam.

Incomplete: If there is a last-minute personal or medical emergency, the student may receive a grade of Incomplete and make up the final within one calendar year. The student must provide written documentation and be passing the class at the time to receive an Incomplete. Make-up exams will NOT be given for reasons of a non-refundable airline tickets, vacation plans, work schedules, weddings, family reunions, and other such activities. Students should consult the final exam schedule before making end-of- semester travel plans. The Dean of the student’s college must approve any exceptions to these rules.

Honor Policy: The highest standards of academic integrity are expected of all students. The failure of any student to meet these standards may result in suspension or expulsion from the University or other sanctions as specified in the University Student Academic Integrity Policy. Violations of academic integrity include, but are not limited to, cheating, fabrication, tampering, plagiarism or facilitating such activities.

The grade of XE: A grade of XE is reserved for "failure for academic dishonesty." The grade goes on the student's transcript; the student needs to petition to have it removed after 1 year.

Ethics: It's highly unethical to bring to your instructor's attention the possible impact of your mathematics grade on your future plans, including graduation, scholarships, jobs, etc. The instructor may exercise an option to withdraw you from the course if they think you are compromising the ability to assess your work independently of any other consideration. Students found to be involved in academic dishonesty will be removed from the class and a grade of XE for the course will be submitted to the registrar. The student will be advised to repeat the course with another professor, possibly at another institution. This is the least action taken. Further, more serious actions may be taken if the situation indicated that such actions are appropriate. We will act very harshly against cheating during Quizzes or Exams
