Course Objectives: The student should maintain at least a 70% average on all course work covering linear functions and

graphs, matrices, inequalities and linear programming, simplex algorithm, mathematics of finance, probability, sets,

counting techniques, permutations, combinations, statistics, central tendency, standard deviation, and applications in all

areas.

Tentative Exam Schedule:

Test 1: Fri, June 10th

Test 2: Fri, June 17th

Test 3: Thurs, June 23rd

Test 4: Wed, June 29th

Grading Policy: 4 Exams = 16% each

Quizzes = 8%

Online Homework = 8%

Final Exam = 20%

Below are letter grades that correspond to the final numerical grade:

A = 89.5-100; B = 79.5-89.4; C = 69.5-79.4; D = 59.5-69.4; F = 0-59.4

Suggested Homework: You will have "suggested" homework from your textbook every day (which will prepare you for

your quizzes and tests, but will not be turned in for a grade). It is IMPERATIVE that you do suggested homework

problems.

Quizzes: Quizzes will be given in class. It will cover the suggested homework material so stay caught up on suggested

homework. Sometimes there might be take home quizzes or group quizzes, but most will be individual. Each quiz is

worth 10 points and the lowest quiz grade will be dropped at the end of the semester. Quizzes will not always be

announced ahead of time.

Online Homework: You will have an online homework set to do for EACH section taught. These will be done through

www.coursecampus.com and will count for a grade. The lowest three grades will be dropped at the end of the semester.

The due dates fall on random days of the week, so pay attention to due dates.

Graphing Calculator: A TI-83/84 graphing calculator is REQUIRED for this course. Symbolic calculators such as the

TI-89/92 will not be allowed. Calculator may not be allowed on some quizzes/tests.

Make-up Policy: There will be no make-ups given without an official authorized excuse. Such excuses include a

Doctor’s note, a signed message from a College official, or an obituary from a death in the family. A prescription is not

an authorized excuse. The student must contact the instructor either prior to or within 24 hours of missing an exam. The

instructor will note in writing if the excuse is authorized. The make-up exam must be taken within one week of the date

of the exam.

Accommodations for Students with Disabilities: We would like to help students with disabilities achieve their highest

potential in college. To this end, in order to receive accommodations on exams or assignments, students must alert me to

the situation as soon as possible and also provide our Academic Advising and Counseling Center (AACC) with proper

documentation of their needs. No accommodations will be granted until the student makes an appointment with me,

during my office hours, to discuss appropriate accommodations.

Attendance Policy: The College District believes that class attendance is essential for student success; therefore, students

are required to promptly and regularly attend all their classes. Each class meeting builds the foundation for subsequent

class meetings. Without full participation and regular class attendance, students shall find themselves at a severe

disadvantage for achieving success in college. Faculty will require students to regularly attend class and will keep record

of attendance from the first day of class and/or the first day the student’s name appears on the roster through final

examinations. If the student accumulates a total of two weeks (3 days) worth of absences, he/she will be

administratively withdrawn from class.

The only excused absences as defined by the College are:

(1) Observance of religious holy days – Sec 51.911(b) Texas Education Code. An institution of higher education

shall excuse a student attending classes and/or required activities, including examinations, for the observance of

a religious holy day. A student whose absence is excused under this section may not be penalized for that absence

and shall be allowed to take an examination or complete an assignment. The student should notify his/her

instructor no later thatn the 15th day of the semester concerning the specific date(s) that the student will be absent

for any religious holy day(s); and

(2) Representing Blinn College at an official institutional function – a student is asked by the institution to be an

official representative of the college at any function approved by the institution, the student is excused from any

classes missed and must be allowed to complete all work without penalty for that absence(s) in a timely manner as

directed by the faculty member.

Tardies: If a student is 5-15 minutes late to class that will count as one tardy. An accumulation of three tardies is equal to

one absence. If a student is 15 or more minutes late, then that is counted as an absence. If a student leaves class for any

reason during the lecture, then this will be counted as an absence.

Civility Statement: Members of the Blinn College community, which includes faculty, staff, and other students, are

expected to act honestly and responsibly in all aspects of campus life. Blinn College holds all members accountable for

their actions and words. Therefore, all members should commit themselves to behave in a manner that recognizes

personal respect and demonstrates concern for personal dignity, rights, and freedoms of every member of the College

community, including respect for College property and the physical and intellectual property of others. If a student is

asked to leave the classroom because of uncivil behavior, the student may not return to that class until he or she arranges a

conference with the instructor: it is the student’s responsibility to arrange for this conference.

Classroom Policy: No food, drinks, or tobacco products are allowed in the classroom. Cell phones are beepers/pages

must be disengaged while the student is in the classroom. Text messaging in class will result in the student being

asked to leave for the remainder of the instructional period. This will count as an unexcused absence.

Scholastic Dishonesty: The policy as stated in the 2009-2010 Student Handbook, Bryan Campus will be followed.
