Institution/Instructor Policies
Please read the following policies completely.
Online Attendance:
You must participate in the online course during the first week of the semester (by January 24th) or you will be dropped from the course. Participation means completing the first assignment (reading the course documents and sending your instructor an email indicating you have read and understand the information) and being registered in MyMathLab portion of the course. Plan to work on assignments at least five times per week (15-20 hours per week) and check your yc email frequently. If you expect to be off-line for more than seven days in a row, please email me and let me know.

Withdrawing from the Course:

Student Initiated Withdrawal: To officially withdraw from a course, you must withdraw using the My Registration feature within the My Services portion of your portal. You must complete this process before Tuesday, March 13th. Instructor Withdrawal: Anytime between March 14th April 30th, you may email your instructor and request a withdrawal. I will not withdraw a student without a written request. Grades: Grades earned in the course (A, B, C, D, F) will be assigned for those students still registered in the course at the end. If you have not withdrawn from the course you will be assigned a grade in the course. You may submit a written request by email for a grade of Unsatisfactory (D or F) or Satisfactory (A, B, C) if received before the last week of class.

Disability Support Services:

If anyone in this class has a documented disability, including a learning disability, and would like to discuss possible accommodation, please contact Disability Resources @ 776-2085.

MyMathLab Homework:
Homework assignments may be completed as many times as needed before the due date. All course materials and resources can be used when completing homework. I hope that you will earn 100% on each homework assignment. Homework assignments are graded by MyMathLab and your results can be accessed immediately. Feedback is given for each problem as it is completed. If you think the program marked your answer wrong, but it was correct, please contact me with the details so that I can research the homework and change the score if warranted.

MyMathLab Tests:
Online exams may be submitted only once from the time it is started until the due date. It is

your responsibility to ensure that you plan your schedule properly so that you have ample time to complete your exams by their due dates as late exams will not be accepted. Please make sure that you understand this statement!
(A recommendation is that you print and keep the general calendar handy to ensure you know course due dates!) Online resources are not available for exams. There is a time limit for exams (the time remaining is posted on the page as you are taking the quiz). You may, however, work on the exam over a period of a few days. To do this, close the quiz window or click another button in the course, but DO NOT SUBMIT YOUR EXAM UNTIL YOU ARE COMPLETELY FINISHED. After you have submitted your exam, it will not be available to review until after the due date.

Make-Up Work and Extra Credit:

MyMathLab homework and online exams will not be accepted after the due date. A grade of 0 will be entered as the score for any missed work.
There is NO extra credit available in this course!

Email Policy:
Please include a clear subject line when sending email and sign all emails with your name. Please use the MyMathLab Communication feature or YC email when sending general question emails. MyMathLab homework has an option Ask My Instructor, which will send me a link to the homework problem you are working on. Please include a specific question when getting help with homework problems so that I can better answer your question. Please send only emails that deal directly with the course. I will answer emails within 24-48 hours. If I am out of town or unable to get to a computer for more than 2 days, I will let you know ahead of time.

Tutoring:
Learning Centers: Free tutoring services are available in the Learning Centers at each campus. Students can sign up for small group tutoring, study groups, or individual tutoring (only available for students in the Student Support Services Program).
