Notes:
1. GRADE CALCULATIONS
GRADING EXPECTATIONS - Due to the nature of this subject and the types of evaluations involved where
hand-written work must be carefully assessed and feedback recorded, the professor can be expected to return
student work within about one week. Marks will be posted in DC Connect as soon as they are available. This
policy excludes the online quizzes that are graded immediately upon completion and displayed in DC Connect.
MIDTERM GRADE - The midterm grade for this course will be calculated using the results of the first test
(20%), the best 5 out of 6 quizzes (7.5%), and 2 or 3 assignments (10-15%) for a mark out of 37.5%-42.5%;
representing the amount of course content completed in the first 7 weeks.
2. TESTS
DATES - Students must be prepared to write all tests at the scheduled time and place (including online). Please
see Section XI: Course Specific Policies and Expectations regarding attendance, and absence, plus see below

regarding missed test(s)
- Students must have access to the required technology for testing as listed in Required Text(s) and Supplies.
Government issued photo ID or Student ID card may also be required for this process.
- Specific instructions will be posted in DC Connect describing the testing process.
FORMAT - Students are encouraged to show all steps/work to demonstrate their understanding of the concepts
on the evaluations by providing full answers/solutions where possible. Part-marks will be given when possible.
- Evaluations completed in an online environment may require hand-written work to be uploaded IN A SPECIFIC
FORMAT such as a single PDF file. It is the student's responsibility to ensure the format instructions are
followed. If documents cannot be opened or read by the professor (e.g. HEIC photo format), a mark of zero may
be recorded for that evaluation with no make-up opportunities.
LATE ARRIVAL in classroom setting - 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.
- In the online class setting the same policy applies if the test is written in a synchronous format. If an online
test is offered in an asynchronous fashion, there may be a window of time that the test is available. However,
once the test is opened, the test time will begin. Once the allotted time expires, the test can be locked to not
allow changes/input and the assignment folder where handwritten work will be uploaded will close automatically
when the specific time is over.
MISSED TESTS - There will be no individual rewrites or rescheduling of missed tests due to absence. If, for any
reason, a student is absent for a test, the student may write a make-up test at the end of the semester that is
cumulative of the entire semester. This process applies to only one missed test; a mark of "0" will be assigned
to any other missed test. Due to scheduling, students may be required to write the make-up test in Week 14,
either in person or online, and/or in the Durham College Test Centre during a weekday or weekend Open
Session time at the end of the semester.
3. QUIZZES AND ASSIGNMENTS
DATES - Quizzes and assignments are scheduled by the professor to coordinate with the learning activities and
the term tests. Weekly Quizzes will be completed online in DC Connect.
Assignments are all paper-and-pencil based, however, there may be a requirement to submit the assignment
online to DC Connect in a specified format. Again, as with term tests, it is the student's responsibility to ensure
that the submission format instructions are followed. If documents cannot be opened or read by the instructor, a
mark of zero may be recorded for that evaluation with no make-up opportunities.
- There are NO MAKE-UP OPPORTUNITIES for quizzes or assignments during the semester. 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 absent at the time or not.
- If an assignment allows for late submissions, there will be a penalty of 10% (of the earned mark) per 24 hours
late, up to a maximum of 72 hours (after that, a mark of zero will be assigned). However, please note that no
late assignments will be accepted once answers and solutions have been posted on DC Connect or discussed
in class.
MARKED EVALUATIONS - All graded quizzes and assignments will be available to students to review. Marks
will appear in DC Connect Grades as soon as they are available.

Required Text(s) and Supplies:
1. TEXTBOOKS: (Required)

http://www.durhamcollege.ca/mycampus/

Course Specific Policies and Expectations:
ACADEMIC CONCERNS
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) for individuals or groups on an as-needed basis and/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:
http://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 in Rm
SSB204) 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 on SAL's website) students can access online tutorials for individual
skill development. SALS also provides peer tutoring, subject specific assistance, workshops for improving study skills
and preparing for tests and exams, as well as peer study groups. (For further information about SALS, please visit:
www.durhamcollege.ca/sals)
Services for students who require academic accommodations are provided by the Access and Support Centre (ASC),
in Rm SW116 in the Gordon Willey building. (For more information visit: www.durhamcollege.ca/asc)
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY (ORIGINAL WORK)
(Refer to general college policies at http://www.durhamcollege.ca/academicpolicies and select Academic Integrity

Policy and the Academic Integrity Procedure for specific information)
When submitting any work for grading, 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 their findings and solutions in an
original way. Alleged breaches of academic integrity will be documented on an Academic Integrity Alert form, as per
the college policy, and any penalty will be assessed in consultation with the Executive Dean/Associate Dean of the
School of Interdisciplinary Studies. Please note that taking the work of another student, or any another person (or
information downloaded from the internet or an app) and submitting as if it was your own, even if minor 'tweaks' are
applied, is still considered plagiarism or a breach of academic integrity. If a student is unclear about what constitutes
a breach of academic integrity in this course, please consult with the professor. Durham College views plagiarism as
a serious academic offence.
ASSIGNMENTS AND QUIZZES (see Evaluation Notes)
ATTENDANCE/ABSENCE
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 and online activities will be evaluated throughout the semester, e.g. assignments and
quizzes. There are no make-up opportunities for these activities; however, only the top 5 out of 6 assignment marks
and the top 10 out of 12 quiz marks will be used in the final grade calculation.
ONLINE STUDENTS please note: Although physical attendance in a classroom is not applicable, the viewing of, and
interaction with the weekly content, including the instructional videos, is considered class time. Practice exercises,
quizzes and assignments require an investment of additional time. Online students are expected to check DC
Connect on a daily basis as part of their attendance and for course engagement.
In the event of an ABSENCE, it is the student's responsibility to find out what was missed prior to coming to the next
class and to obtain any documents that were distributed or posted. Students must check DC Connect for any
announcements and/or resources on a regular basis, even if absent. The student is also expected to review the
missed material on their own, or with (a) classmate(s). 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 class time that the student was absent.
All assignments are due by the deadlines indicated on the documents and/or posted on DC Connect whether a student
is absent at the time or not.

Graded tests, quizzes and assignments will be returned to all students, other than the final test(s). If a student is
absent at the time these graded documents are returned, 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. ONLINE
STUDENTS should receive their graded work electronically through the DC Connect tools.
DC CONNECT & DC MAIL
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/notifications
when content, discussions, announcement items and grades are updated.
DC Mail (the college student email system) is used for all email communications. REGULAR ACCESS IS
EXPECTED. Communication from professors and college administration and the distribution of important documents
are all done via DC Mail.
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/they
would then be obliged to independently complete the assignments and quizzes and/or prepare for the tests. 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 supplies (e.g. a calculator, a sharpened pencil or a pen, a
notebook, etc.). If a student uses a tablet or laptop computer, it is expected that any applications that are not directly
related to the learning activities in the classroom e.g. e-mail, social media, games, videos, etc., will be closed. (Not
applicable to the ONLINE CLASSES other than during synchronous class events).
LEARNING PLAN (found in the next section, Section XII)
The learning plan is the same for both the face-to-face and the online classes of this course. However, the method of
delivery is different.
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/lecture developing the skills needed to move on to
the next concepts 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 an evaluation such as a quiz or a test.
Problems encountered with practice exercises can be address in class or by appointment with the professor. ONLINE
STUDENTS are encouraged to communicate by email and/or to book one-on-one virtual appointments with the
professor when assistance or clarification is needed.
SUPPLEMENTAL WORK (extra assignments/evaluations not listed in this course outline):
Students WILL NOT BE ALLOWED to complete any supplemental work to boost their grades. It is in the student's
best interest to complete all assigned work with maximal effort.
TESTS (See Evaluation Notes)
USING TECHNOLOGY
Computer malfunctions or problems will not be accepted as an excuse for late or missing course requirements. IT IS
THE STUDENT'S RESPONSIBILITY to resolve technical issues prior to the deadlines for submission of work or
evaluations.
Any technical difficulties associated with online access or submission of evaluations must be reported immediately to

the professor using e-mail. A detailed description of the issue must be provided and a screenshot of any error
messages attached to the email. If the computer being used is on campus/in residence, or the issue is related to
accessing DC Connect, a Service Desk ticket number must be provided to verify the technical issue (visit the IT
Service Desk Portal at https://servicedesk.dc-uoit.ca or call the Service Desk at 905.721.3333).
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: http://www.durhamcollege.ca/wp-content/uploads/ADMIN-
