Expectations
- Course Content:
- The course will cover the topics listed on the attached learning schedule.
- Reading Assignments:
- This course is an online internet based course.
You will do most of your learning by actively reading the textbook, asking questions,
and engaging the material on a regular, frequent basis.
There are also slide shows available on CourseDen for each section of
the book covered during the course.
You can find a large number of examples worked completely in the text. If you are diligent, you will find these examples a great help in completing the homework assignments and earning a satisfactory grade at the end of the semester.
- Make-Up Work:
- There are no make-up grades for any reason. Students must complete all the homework assignments and quizzes when they are due. Each student is responsible for following the learning schedule and keeping up with the course. Students must complete all the tests when they are due. Students having an unexcused missed test will receive a grade of zero for that test. Students having an excused missed test on the day of a test will have their test average entered for the missed grade. This may only be done once. Missed tests must be excused before they occur except in extraordinary cases, such as active military duty, jury duty, or hospitalization. Being sick, short of being hospitalized, is not an excuse. If you anticipate missing a test for a religious holiday, it is your responsibility to notify me in advance.
