Co-requisites: Course may be taken with concurrent enrollment in MATH 0314

Textbook Title: Hardbound Text: Lial, Hornsby, Schneider, Daniels; Essentials of College Algebra, 12th ed.;
Pearson. PLEASE NOTE: You are not required to purchase this textbook. There is an ebook version of this
textbook in our Math 1314 course in MyMathLab. If you decide later that you would like to purchase it, there is a loose-
leaf version of this textbook that can be purchased in “Purchase Options” in our Math 1314 course in MyMathLab.

Required Technology: Students will be expected to utilize computer technology while enrolled in classes,
certificate, and/or degree programs within Lone Star College. The specific requirements for this course are listed below:
MyMathLab access (see pages 2-3 of this syllabus) for completing online homework assignments; a calculator (see
page 2 of this syllabus) – a TI 84 Plus graphing calculator is highly recommended

Required MyMathLab Access: Students must buy an access code to MyMathLab, an online course
management system which includes a complete eBook; online purchase of MyMathLab access is in our Math
1314 class in D2L within the MyMathLab tab within Content. Note: A complete eBook for the course comes
with MyMathLab access. A hardbound copy of the textbook is NOT required. Note: For those who would
prefer not to purchase MyMathLab access online through our Math 1314 class in D2L, hard copies may be
purchased elsewhere using the ISBN for hard copies of MyMathLab Access Codes: 9780134896038, OR
Hardbound text (College Algebra, 12th ed.) + 24 Month MyMathLab access, ISBN: 9780135263419

***IMPORTANT: If you cannot pay for the MyMathLab access immediately, you can sign up for 14 days of free access
within the MyMathLab tab within Content in our Math 1314 class in D2L and using the MyMathLab registration instructions
found in the Getting Started Checklist in our Math 1314 class in D2L. After the 14 days of free access, you must pay for
MyMathLab by using a credit card or by using a MyMathLab Access Code that you can purchase in the college’s bookstore.
Setting up a second free access account using a different email address is prohibited, and one of those accounts
will be deactivated! This MyMathLab software is a very useful tool complete with practice exercises, guided mathematical
instruction, and multimedia learning aids (for example: lecture videos, worked out examples, power points, podcasts,
animations).

Optional Hardbound Text: Lial, Hornsby, & McGinnis; Essentials of College Algebra,12th Edition (publisher: Pearson); If you
definitely want a physical copy of the textbook along with the MyMathLab Access, then you should purchase the Package: Textbook +
MML Access Code, ISBN: 9780135263419. If you decide to purchase MyMathLab access only and then later decide that you want a
physical copy of the textbook, then you can purchase or rent a copy of the textbook online. There’s also a loose-leaf version of the
textbook available, which is more affordable than the hardcover edition of the textbook.

Calculator:
Graphing calculators may be required for some assignments/assessments at the discretion of the instructor. Only the following models
are permitted:
Any calculator in the TI 83 or TI 84 series.
Any calculator in the Casio FX-9750GII series
Scientific calculators may be required for some assignments/assessments at the discretion of the instructor. Only the following models
are permitted:
Any calculator in the TI-30XS Multiview series
Any calculator in the Casio fx-300ES series
Page 2 of 17 Revised for 2022 - 2023
Four function calculators may be required for some assignments/assessments at the discretion of the instructor. Examples of
suggested calculators include but are not limited to:
Any calculator in the TI 108 series.
Any calculator in the Casio HS8VA series
Note: It is the students’ responsibility to learn how to use the calculators they choose. The instructor should not be expected to offer
instruction in calculator functionality. Cell phones, tablets and PDAs are not allowed as calculators on tests. Calculators may be
cleared before tests.

Other Materials: pencils & eraser: pencils and an eraser are REQUIRED for the in-class
assignments, the tests and the final exam.

a notebook: what is highly recommended for a notebook is a 3-ring binder with

tabbed sections for lecture notes, MyMathLab assignments (which you can print,
save, and work on offline, and then enter the answers online; but make you sure you save the
assignment online before logging out), and miscellaneous handouts (like worksheets,
study guides and tests); make sure that this 3-ring binder has pockets and college-
ruled loose-leaf paper. Please keep your work organized ☺. It will help you
succeed! If you prefer using spiral notebooks then I recommend that you have two
of them, one for taking notes while watching the lecture videos and one for the
MyMathLab homework assignments and quizzes.

***IMPORTANT: Please remember that it’s BEST to use an email address that contains your first and last name when
setting up your MyMathLab account access. I HIGHLY recommend that you use your Lone Star College email account.
Email is our primary form of communication for these online classes. If you do not use your Lone Star College email
account, then it is possible that your email messages to me will go to a spam/quarantined folder which I do not see until
sometimes 24 hours or more after you send the message. Also, I STRONGLY suggest that you create a folder in your email
inbox titled ‘math class’, so that you can keep track of all of the email messages that I send. If you prefer to only use your
personal email address, I highly recommend that you set up your Lone Star College email messages to be transferred to
your personal email address.

Instructor Guidelines and Procedures
Students are responsible for knowing and following the guidelines related to all of the online links below.

Attendance: This is a hybrid class. Attendance is very important for success in this class! Your attendance will be
recorded from a class roster each class period. If you are tardy, you will be counted as absent. If you leave before the
end of the class period, you will also be counted as absent. The instructor will NOT drop students from this course for
non-attendance. It is your responsibility to fill out a “schedule change form” to officially drop this class. Failure to do so
may result in the grade of “F”. If you withdraw from this Math 1314-5C09 course, then you must also withdraw from the
linked corequisite course, Math 0314-5C09. The last day to withdraw is November 14, 2022. Students will be considered
non-participating for a week if they have not submitted the assignments and/or assessments due that week. You may be
dropped from the class if you are non-participating for two weeks.

Penalty for Not Enrolling in MyMathLab: Enrolling in MyMathLab is a requirement for participation in this class.
Students who have not logged into MyMathLab or who fail to purchase permanent access by September 12, 2022 will not
be permitted to complete the online assignments and may be dropped from the class for non-participation.

Email Guidelines: Since communication is very important and professional emails will be essential to your future
success, please adhere to the guidelines below when sending emails in this course.

• Use a clear subject line.

• Use a greeting and signature.
• Let me know what class you are in and to which assignment you are referring.
• Use standard and proper punctuation, spelling and grammar.
• Do your part in solving what you need to solve, including referencing the syllabus and specific assignment
requirements.
• Remember expectations of respect.

Communication: Communication with your professor is critical! Please stay in communication with your professor and
contact her if you have any questions at all. It is highly recommended that you use your Lone Star College or D2L student
email account for communication with your professors and other college staff members! Make sure that you check your
email frequently, and check the “Handouts” section in MyMathLab each time that you log in to MyMathLab and before working
on the mathematics. If you contact your professor via email, please make sure to email her at Kimberly.H.Lane@lonestar.edu
and NOT through D2L (LSC-Online). Also, I will send some important reminders via text using the Remind app, so please set
up your Remind access. Instructions for that are on page 1 of the syllabus and in the Getting Started Checklist in our course in
D2L.

Class format: Attendance will be taken. Then, Mrs. Lane will answer any questions from previously assigned
homework. This will be followed by a quiz and then lecture on Math 0314 and/or Math 1314 topics (depending on the
week), and practice through an active learning in-class assignment, when possible. Lecture and practice will alternate
until the objectives for the day are covered. This format is subject to revision during the semester. The format will be
different on test days.

Assignments: In this course there will be online homework assignments, in-class assignments and quizzes, tests
(in class), and a final exam (in class). If you do not purchase an access code to MyMathLab, then you will NOT be
able to complete any of the online assignments. Please contact me, your professor, if you are experiencing any difficulty.

In-Class Assignments: For some class days there might be an in-class assignment or in-class quiz. Some of these
assignments might be collected and graded. They must be done NEATLY, IN PENCIL, and turned in ON TIME. You will be
required to SHOW YOUR WORK on these assignments. Late assignments will NOT be accepted. These in-class
assignments and in-class quizzes are worth 5% of your overall average in this course and cannot be made up. Also, all tests
and the final exam will be taken in class.

Electronic Devices: In order to create an environment that promotes the success of all students, cell phones and
electronic devices are to be turned to the OFF mode or placed on the silent or vibrate mode during class time. Please
turn your electronic devices off before entering the classroom. Cell phones are not allowed out on the desk or in your lap
during class time! Please keep them in your backpack, pocket, or purse. Talking on cell phones and sending text
Page 4 of 17 Revised for 2022 - 2023
messages during class are STRICTLY PROHIBITED. Any student who takes out their cell phone during class or disrupts
the class by talking excessively will be asked to leave. Laptop computers should be closed and put away during class
time. The use of cell phones is not allowed when completing all assignments!

Online Homework Assignments:

As you complete the assignments in MyMathLab, please feel free to email the professor at any time. You should expect
an email response from your professor within 48 business hours. In a mathematics class, nothing will be as beneficial to you
as doing the homework assignments. The homework for this course will be completed in the “Homework” folder of the
“Assignments” section of MyMathLab. *Make sure that you complete the homework assignments in the order that they appear
in the Tentative Instructional Outline of this syllabus. It is recommended that you use the on-line support when working
problems; however you are expected to complete your own assignments. It is extremely important to complete each
assignment on time. You will need to spend some time daily with some of the material. You may do each assignment
and rework problems more than once before the due date to increase your score. I STRONGLY suggest that you work on the
homework assignments at least 3 or 4 different dates per week. Please do not wait until the day that an assignment is due
to start working on and learning the material for that particular assignment. The due dates for assignments are the last
opportunity to do the assignment, but they are not the first opportunity and you should always try to work a few days
ahead of deadlines. Homework assignments are worth 15% of your overall average in this course, thus it would be very
beneficial to complete these assignments by their due dates, which are listed in the Tentative Instructional Outline of this
syllabus. It is possible to get a score of 100% on each of these homework assignments, as if you get a problem wrong
you can select “Similar Exercise” to get a new problem. If you want more practice, in addition to the homework
assignments, you can work problems in the textbook or in the Study Plan section of MyMathLab. It is to YOUR BENEFIT to
work extra problems for any textbook section material that you need more practice with.

Important: Each homework assignment contains media (textbook, video lecture, and/or PowerPoint), so please look at the
media first and take notes before working the problems. When you are working problems in MyMathLab, if you have to select
‘View an Example’ or ‘Help Me Solve This’ every time that you work a problem, then you are not comfortable with the material
and could possibly struggle on tests. So if you have to ‘View an Example’ and you get the problem correct, please select
‘Similar Exercise’ and to work a similar problem without any help until you get it correct. The less help you need, and the more
you can see a problem and know how to work it without help, the more successful you will be on tests. It is important that you
can work the homework problems without the help features in order for you to gain mastery of the concepts and do well
on the tests and final exam. The ‘Quiz Me’ feature in the Study Plan of MyMathLab is also great for testing your
knowledge on any concepts you want more practice on and without help features. Please remember to work neatly while
working the online assignments, numbering each question as you work them. If there is something you can’t figure out,
place a mark by it so you can easily ask a question about it later. Selecting “Ask My Instructor” for a particular problem
will send a screenshot of the problem that you are working on to your professor. To do well in this class, you must do your
homework. Also, each homework assignment should be completed by its specific due date and time (as indicated
in the Tentative Instructional Outline of this syllabus). Any homework assignment completed after its due date will
close permanently at 11:59 PM on the day before the Final Exam and receive a 20% penalty for any problems
completed after the assignment due date. **If you miss an assignment for a specific textbook section, go to the
textbook in MyMathLab; then, watch the video and work practice problems in the “Study Plan”. Another way to review a
missed assignment is to select ‘review’ next to the assignment name in the gradebook of MyMathLab. Please note that
each homework assignment can be printed, worked on paper, and then the answers entered online into MyMathLab
afterwards. Any missed homework assignment will be assigned a score of zero to be averaged into the student overall score.

Tests (in class): All tests and the final exam will be taken in our classroom. Each of those will have a time limit and will
NOT be in multiple choice format. The dates of the tests are listed in the Tentative Instructional Outline of this syllabus. Plan
ahead! If you know in advance that you can’t take a test on its designated date, then you need to work ahead and take it
early (i.e. before the test date). Waiting until AFTER the test date is not a feasible solution. Each test can ONLY be taken
ONCE. Retaking a test due to scoring low on a test is not allowed. Each test (Test 1, Test 2, Test 3, Test 4, Test 5) will
count for 12% of your overall average in this course, amounting to a total of 60% of your overall score. Each test will contain 20
to 40 problems, and the textbook sections covered on each test are listed on the Tentative Instructional Outline of this syllabus.
Cheat sheets, notes, textbooks, extra electronic devices, cell phones, and flash cards are NOT allowed during tests.
While taking a test only your pencils, erasers, and an approved calculator (listed in this syllabus) will be allowed
on your desk. Any student caught using a cell phone while taking a test will be given a score of zero on that test.

Study Guides for Tests: Study guides for the tests will be in the “Assignments” tab in MyMathLab and located in the
“Handouts” section of the course in MyMathLab. Make sure that you print each study guide, if possible, and start working on it
at least 2 or 3 days before each test date. If you do not have access to a printer, then you can just work out the problems on
paper. I highly recommend that you work out the study guide in “Assignments” within MyMathLab as a practice
Page 5 of 17 Revised for 2022 - 2023
test before taking a test. If you prefer to print the study guide on paper and work on it then please do the following: open
the study guide in the “Assignments” section, select ‘I am ready to start’, select ‘submit test’ to submit it, select ‘review test’ and
select ‘print’. Another option is to print the study guide that’s found in the “Handouts” section in MyMathLab, if possible.
These study guides DO NOT count towards your grade in this course, but they will very much help you to prepare for
the tests. I also recommend that you work extra practice problems in the “Study Plan” section of MyMathLab, for any topics
that you’re not comfortable with, to prepare for these tests.

Make-up Tests:
Tests will generally be announced about 2 or 3 days in advance, and the dates are listed in the Tentative Instructional
Outline of this syllabus. If you miss a test, then you MUST contact your instructor within 24 hours before or after the
missed test, or you will not be considered for a make-up. A make-up test may be given ONLY if you miss the deadline
due to unforeseen circumstances. You MUST contact me within 24 hours (1 day) of the missed deadline in order to make
up an test. You MUST take the make-up test within 48 hours (2 days) of the missed deadline. Otherwise, you will be
given the grade you receive on the final exam as the grade for the missed test. Either of these options will only be
allowed for only ONE missed test during the semester. Any other missed test will be given a grade of “0”. Retaking a test
due to scoring low on a test is not allowed. Also, test corrections to improve your score will not be allowed. If you do not
miss any tests and take each test on or before its corresponding due date, then your final exam score will replace your
lowest test score, given that your final exam score is higher than your lowest test score.

Final Exam (in class): You will be taking a comprehensive final exam in class, and it will not be in multiple-choice format.
The final exam will be a paper test, and it must be taken in class on Dec. 12th at 7:30 PM. The final exam will count for 20%
of your overall grade in the course. Cheat sheets, notes, textbooks, extra electronic devices, cell phones, and flash cards are
NOT allowed during the final exam. While taking the final exam only your pencils, erasers, and an approved calculator
(listed in this syllabus) will be allowed on your desk. Any student caught using a cell phone while taking the final exam
will be given a score of zero on that exam. Students who do not take the final exam by the scheduled time and date will
receive a grade of 0 for the final exam to be used to calculate the students average.

Study guide for the Final Exam: The study guide for the final exam will either be in the “Assignments” tab in
MyMathLab or located in the “Handouts” section of the course in MyMathLab. I highly recommend that you work out the
study guide that is in the “Assignments” section as a practice test before taking the exam. If you do not have time
to complete all of the problems, then just do every other problem. You can also print that study guide and start working on it
at least 2 or 3 days before the exam date. This study guide DOES NOT count towards your grade in this course, but it
will very much help you to prepare for the exam. I also recommend that you work extra practice problems in the “Study Plan”
section of MyMathLab, for any topics that you’re not comfortable with, to prepare for this exam.

Make-up Assignments: Any homework assignment completed after its due date will close permanently at 11:59 PM
on the day before the Final Exam and receive a 20% penalty for any problems completed after the assignment due date.
There are no make-ups for the assignments and quizzes completed in class, but there will be two extra credit
assignments (see Intructional Outline below). Only ONE test can be made up. Please read more above about “Make-Up
Tests”, “Online Homework Assignments”, “In-Class Assignments”, “Tests”, and “Final Exam”. The Final Exam can not be
made up. The lowest homework grade, lowest in-class assignment grade, lowest in-class quiz grade, and lowest test
grade will NOT be dropped.

Indicating a Preferred/Used Name:

If you would like the class roster and the LSC online system to indicate a name different from the one on your legal
documentation, you may register a preferred/used name. Follow these steps:
1. Log into myLoneStar at https://my.LoneStar.edu
2. From the Student tab choose ‘Personal Info’
3. From drop down choose ‘Names’
4. Choose “Add a New Name”
5. Enter the name type as “Preferred” and enter the desired name
6. Save the record
7. To change a preferred/used name in the future, if necessary, choose “Edit”, change the name and save the record.

Extra Help/Tutoring: I can help you in my office during my office hours or by appointment, via WebEx by appointment only,
via email, or via telephone by appointment. Our Tutoring Center will also be helping students virtually and on campus. The
Page 6 of 17 Revised for 2022 - 2023
link to their webpage is http://www.lonestar.edu/tutoring-cyfair.htm. Tutoring is available in math and many other subjects.
Please check their webpage for the subjects tutored and when the tutors are available.

WebEx: I am available to help you via WebEx, but you must first make an appointment with me. Please email me at
Kimberly.H.Lane@lonestar.edu to make a tutoring appointment with me as soon as you need any help at all. I am flexible and
want to help my students! To access WebEx, you need to go into our Math 1314 course in D2L, then click on CONTENT,
then click on WEBEX MEETINGS/TUTORING, and then click on WebEx.

Recommendations: Read the sections in the textbook, or watch the video lectures in MyMathLab or in our Math 1314
class in D2L, before they are covered in class. Because this class is a hybrid class, you will be learning only some of
the weekly concepts in class, and then you will learn the rest of the weekly concepts outside of class. Plan your time
wisely, plan ahead and be organized! If you like Powerpoint slides, there are some available in the “Multimedia Library” section
of MyMathLab. Keep up with all assignments (homework, quizzes) and turn in assignments on time. Work on a
MyMathLab homework assignment for a particular textbook section BEFORE it is due and NOT on its due date. The due
dates for online assignments are the last opportunity to do the assignment, but they are not the first opportunity and you
should always try to work a few days ahead of deadlines. Please remember that ‘math is not a spectator sport’. Stay
focused and participate. Seek help from your instructor as soon as possible, if you are unsure about anything at all. Form
study groups with classmates and meet with them regularly or when possible. Be prepared for all quizzes and tests. You are
expected to act professionally at all times and with courtesy to both others in the class and to your professor. PLEASE
remember that your professor is here to help you .

Lone Star College-CyFair Campus Guidelines and Procedures
Student Handbook
We encourage students to read the Student Handbook https://www.lonestar.edu/student-handbook and
https://www.lonestar.edu/lscs-catalog.htm for a comprehensive list of guidelines and procedures.

Course Communication
Lone Star College provides email services to faculty, staff and students. All official communication from Lone Star College
is sent through email including emergency information, school closure information and notifications. All communication
regarding this course will be sent via your student email. To protect the privacy of your student records, no
correspondence will be accepted or responded to from personal email accounts. For more information on accessing,
setting up, or syncing your e-mail to a personal account visit https://www.lonestar.edu/email.htm

College Gradebook
Students are expected to monitor progress in their college course. Students may track their academic progress in the
college’s learning management system, called D2L, throughout the semester. The college instructor will utilize the
gradebook feature in D2L to post individual grades for each major course requirement, assignments, and examinations to
calculate the final grade of the college course at the end of the semester. The final grade reports are available at
my.LoneStar.edu (student portal) at the end of each semester. Students should review the transcript/grade report for
accuracy. Students may learn how to view grades in D2L through the Virtual Learning Assistance Center at
https://vlac.lonestar.edu/help.

Course Withdrawal Process

Withdrawal from the course after the official day of record and prior to the “W” Day will result in a final grade of “W” on
your transcript. You are strongly encouraged to communicate with your professor prior to withdrawing from a course to
consider all options. No credit will be awarded for a course earning a “W.” If you stop attending class, you must withdraw
by E-mailing CyFair.Registration@LoneStar.edu or visiting the registration office in the CASA Building prior to “W” date. If
you stop attending class and do not officially withdraw, you will receive whatever grade is calculated based on your
completion rate, which may result in an “F” for the course. Additional information on the Course Withdrawal Process may
be found in the Course Catalog for the current academic year.

Six Drop Rule

Students who enrolled in Texas public institutions of higher education as first-time college students during the Fall 2007 term
or later are subject to section 51.907 of the Texas Education Code, which states that an institution of higher education may
not permit a student to drop (withdraw with a grade of “W”) from more than six courses, including courses that a transfer
student has previously dropped at other Texas public institutions of higher education that have already been counted against
their six drop limit https://www.lonestar.edu/drop-limit.htm Students should fully understand this drop limit before they drop
any course. Please contact a Counselor or Advisor in our Student Services deptarment or by E-mailing
lsccfadvising@lonestar.edu for additional information and assistance. Dropping a transitional and/or ESOL course does
not count against the six drop limit.

Academic Appeals
An academic appeal is a formal request by a student to change a grade or to challenge a penalty imposted. Before a
student brings an academic appeal, he or she should first communicate/meet with their instructor to request that a change
be made. For additional information, please read the Academic Complaint and Appeal Process
https://www.lonestar.edu/student-complaints.htm

Academic Integrity
Lone Star College-CyFair is committed to a high standard of academic integrity in the academic community. In becoming
a part of the academic community, you are responsible for honesty and independent effort. Please read
Board Policy V.D. Academic Integrity and Dishonesty https://bit.ly/2QkNHCF and the Academic Integrity Brochure
https://bit.ly/3v8l9Ll for more information.

Failure to uphold these standards includes, but is not limited to, the following: plagiarizing written work or projects,
cheating on exams or assignments, collusion on an exam or project, and misrepresentation of credentials or prerequisites
when registering for a course. Cheating includes looking at or copying from another student's exam, orally communicating
or receiving answers during an exam, having another person take an exam or complete a project or assignment, using
Page 13 of 17 Revised for 2022 - 2023
unauthorized notes, texts, or other materials for an exam, and obtaining or distributing an unauthorized copy of an exam
or any part of an exam. Plagiarism means passing off as your own the ideas or writings of another (that is, without giving
proper credit by documenting sources). Plagiarism includes submitting a paper, report, or project that someone else has
prepared, in whole or in part. Collusion is inappropriately collaborating on assignments designed to be completed
independently. These definitions are not exhaustive. When there is clear evidence of cheating, plagiarism, collusion, or
misrepresentation, disciplinary action may include but is not limited to requiring you to retake or resubmit an exam or
assignment, assigning a grade of zero or "F" for an exam or assignment; or assigning a grade of "F" for the course.
Additional sanctions may be imposed on a student who violates the standards of academic integrity including being:
withdrawn from the course, ineligible to proceed within their program of study, suspended or expelled from school. For
more information please read Board Policy Section V.F.: Student Discipline for Academic Misconduct https://bit.ly/2QkNHCF
and Section V.F.: Student Discipline for Academic Misconduct Procedures https://bit.ly/3sIAUXM

Academic Integrity in Mathematics Courses

Examples of academic misconduct that are relevant to mathematics classes include (but are not limited to):
• Submitting work done by another person as the student’s own
• Allowing another person to complete online assignments on the student’s behalf
• Seeking help for assignments using resources not provided by or authorized by Lone Star College
• Using an internet enabled device, such as a second computer, smart phone, tablet or smart watch during an
online quiz or exam
• Using a calculator other than one authorized for use in your class
• Using notes, a text or formula list on a quiz or exam unless specifically authorized to do so by your professor
• Using any program or app that can assist with solving mathematical problems while completing an assignment,
test, exam or quiz.

Student Behavior Expectations

You are expected to conduct yourself appropriately while on College property or in an online environment. You may
receive disciplinary action up to and including suspension, if you violate College rules, disrupt classes, or interfere with
the opportunity of others to obtain an education. Students who pose a threat to the safety of others will be subject to
immediate withdrawal from the classroom, campus environment, and/or online environment, as well as face subsequent
criminal charges, as appropriate. Please refer to the Student Code of Conduct https://www.lonestar.edu/student-responsibilities.htm
