Course Specific Policies and Expectations:

ABSENCES: In the event of an absence, it is the student's responsibility to find out from peers what was missed,
prior to coming to the next class. Missed information may include notes, handouts, practice questions, group work
and/or assignments. The student is also expected to review the missed material on his/her/their own, or with a
classmate. The professor will be available (by appointment) to discuss any concerns or to review any content that the
student is having difficulty with, but it is not the professor's responsibility to re-teach what the student missed during
the entire lecture class time.

All assignments are due by the date and time deadline indicated on the document and/or as posted on DC Connect
whether the student is present at the time or not.

Graded tests and assignments will be handed back to students in class. If a student is absent at the time, the
professor will retain papers and an appointment should be made to arrange to pick up the work. It is the student's
responsibility to obtain and retain graded tests and assignments for future reference.

ACADEMIC ASSISTANCE: Students are encouraged to discuss academic concerns with the professor as early as
possible, should the need arise. Additional help from the professor is available (by appointment) outside of class time
for individuals or groups on an as-needed or on a regularly scheduled basis.

Academic issues that can affect a student's success may also be discussed with the Student Advisor in the School of
Interdisciplinary Studies (Rm SW216) e.g. course selection, success strategies, and personal situations that may
require accommodation. Contact information for the School of Interdisciplinary Studies can be found at:
www.durhamcollege.ca/student-experience/helping-you-succeed/academic-support-resources/student-advisors

The Student Academic Learning Services (SALS, located on the 2nd floor of the Student Services Building) is highly
recommended for students who need extra support for mathematics. At SALS, (or through the SALS course on a
student's DC Connect homepage or the SALS website) students can access computerized tutorials for individual skill
development. SALS also provides peer tutoring, subject specific assistance, workshops for improving study skills and
preparing for tests and the final cumulative test, and peer study groups. (For further information about SALS, please
see: www.durhamcollege.ca/sals)

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: (Refer to general college policies at www.durhamcollege.ca/academicpolicies and select


Academic Integrity Policy and the Academic Integrity Procedure for specific information)
When individual assignments are required, it is expected that students will submit their own work. Although group work
may be part of the assignment process, each student must interpret and record his/her findings and solutions in an
original way. Marks will be deducted, up to the full worth of the assignment, for copying the work of another person.
Durham College views plagiarism as a serious academic offence.

ATTENDANCE: Attendance has been shown to be the best predictor of student success. The only way to ensure
that students are able to keep pace with the new concepts being taught, or to clarify and reinforce information, is to be
in class. To that end, a number of in-class activities will be evaluated throughout the semester, e.g. quizzes,
assignments, and group work. There are no make-up opportunities for these activities; however, only the top 8 out of
10 of these marks will be used in the final mark calculation.

DC CONNECT: Students must REGULARLY access and reference DC Connect (the college learning management
system) to keep up to date with this course. Notifications by email and/or text can be easily set up to send reminders
when content, discussions, announcements and grades are updated.

DC Mail is used for email communications with the professor.

IN-CLASS EXPECTATIONS: At all times, students are expected to respect the rights of other students to have a
distraction-free learning environment. A student who is not able to fulfill this expectation may be asked to leave the
classroom and he/she would then be obliged to independently complete the assignments and/or prepare for the tests
and/or the final cumulative test.

To assist in maintaining a distraction-free learning environment, students are expected to arrive on time, have their cell
phones turned off, and be prepared for class with the appropriate text and supplies (e.g. a calculator, a sharpened
pencil or a pen, a notebook, etc.). If a student uses a laptop computer, it is expected that any programs that are not
directly related to the learning activities in the classroom e.g. e-mail, social media, games, etc., will be closed.

OUT-OF-CLASS EXPECTATIONS: Regular homework, or practice, from the textbook exercises, is an essential part
of this course because it provides the opportunity to apply the concepts covered in class, reinforce the processes used
and build confidence working with the concepts. Students should expect to spend time after each class developing
the skills needed to move on to the next concept in the course. Many mathematical concepts are built on the more
basic ones covered at the beginning of the course, and without a good understanding of the basics, moving ahead can
often become difficult. Practice is the only way to demonstrate understanding before being faced with a test or the

Durham College Course Outline - MATH 1311 - 2019-2020 Page 7 of 21


final cumulative test. Problems encountered with practice exercises can be addressed in class or by appointment with
the professor.

SUPPLEMENTAL WORK (extra assignments): Students WILL NOT BE ALLOWED to complete any supplemental
work to boost their grades. It is in the student's best interest to attend all classes and complete all assigned work with
maximal effort.

TESTS AND FINAL CUMULATIVE TEST: Students must be prepared to write the tests and the final cumulative test
at the scheduled time and attend those sessions with the appropriate materials: pens, pencils, and calculator(if
permitted).

Students will not be permitted to write a term test if they arrive more than 20 minutes late, and students will not be
permitted to leave during the first 20 minutes once the test has begun. If a student is late and permitted entry, no
extra time will be allotted for writing the test.

The final cumulative test is written in Week 14. The final cumulative test is covering content from weeks 1 through 13.
IT IS THE STUDENT'S RESPONSIBILITY TO ACCESS INFORMATION REGARDING THE DATE AND TIME OF
THE FINAL CUMULATIVE TEST.

The College policy will be followed concerning late arrival for the final cumulative test. The policy states that a student
will not be permitted entry or the opportunity to write the final cumulative test if he/she arrives more than 30 minutes
late. The missed final cumulative test policy for the college may then be followed, and the student must contact the
School of Interdisciplinary Studies (in SW216) within 48 hours of the final cumulative test time in order to register for
the make-up final cumulative test opportunity (a fee will apply).

Again, a graphing calculator, cell phone, iPod, iPad/tablet, laptop or any other electronic device with calculator
capability is not acceptable for tests and the final cumulative test, and the sharing of calculators is not permitted during
these times.

There will be NO individual rewrites, make-up tests, or rescheduling of term tests because of absence. If, for any
reason whatsoever, a student is absent for a test, the weighting of the final cumulative test will be shifted so that it will
also represent the mark achieved on the missed test. (e.g. the final cumulative test would be worth 48% if Test #1
was missed) This make-up opportunity is only available for one missed test. A mark of "0" will be assigned to any
other missed test(s).

USING TECHNOLOGY: Computer malfunctions or problems will never be accepted as an excuse for late or missing
course requirements. It is the student's responsibility to resolve technical issue prior to the deadlines for submission
of his/her/their work or evaluations.

Refer to the following documents for further details concerning the college policies on acceptable use of information
technology and the rights and responsibilities of students at www.durhamcollege.ca/about-us/corporate-
links/governance/policies and choose Acceptable Use of Information Technology (Policy and Procedure).
