the solution process rather than just answers. Homework should be stored in a
notebook dedicated to the course.
The student should complete each assignment by its due date. In most cases,
VPAA: Revised 9/11, 3/14, 11/16
Page 5
o
o
the student will be able to submit all or part of an assignment late until the day
of the test covering that material; however there will be a 10 % penalty
applied to all problems done after the deadline.
For any assignment not attempted you will receive a grade of 0.
Your homework grade will make-up 10% of your overall grade.
QUIZZES: MyMathLabPlus (MMLP)

o Students will complete all quizzes posted in MMLP. Quizzes in MMLP are
identified with the designation of Q. Each week, students will complete and
submit a quiz or quizzes that will evaluate the content of the sections covered;
see Section XI: Class Schedule.
o MMLP is set to allow two attempts for each quiz. Work should be neatly
organized and should show steps in the solution process rather than just
answers. Students are not required to take a quiz a second time if they are
satisfied with the results on the first attempt. Quizzes must be completed by
the date posted in MMLP and will not be accepted late.
o For any quiz not attempted you will receive a grade of 0.
o Quizzes count for 15% of the overall grade.
TESTS:
o Students will take a total of three (3) tests as scheduled; see Section XI: Class
Schedule. Students are expected to take all three tests. If you miss one test,
your final exam grade will be used for that grade. If you miss more than one
test, all other tests will receive a 0. If you take all three tests, your lowest
grade may be replaced with your final exam grade.
o The second and third tests are proctored exams and must be taken at one of
the FSW testing centers or other approved testing facility. (See the paragraph
on proctored exams below.) Students will have an hour and 40 minutes to
complete a test. Only one attempt is allowed and tests will not be accepted
late. You must schedule the second and third tests with the testing site, giving
yourself enough time to complete the test before the center closes.
o Any test not taken will receive a grade of 0.
o The first non-proctored test counts for 15% of the overall grade. The
second and third proctored tests each count 20% of the overall grade.
FINAL EXAM:
The final exam is mandatory and it will be proctored. It must be taken at one of
the FSW State testing centers or some other approved testing facility.
The dates that the exam may be taken are listed in Section XI: Class Schedule.
Students will have 1 hr. 50 minutes to complete the final exam. Its located in
Canvas and can be accessed by clicking on Modules and then by scrolling down
to the last module.
Good Study Skill: Inform the instructor of any problems you may have with the
material
a few days before the testing date. You should work hard on the homework and
quizzes
and continually ask questions. In this way, the tests become challenging
without being frightening.
VPAA: Revised 9/11, 3/14, 11/16
Page 6

o
Your final exam grade will make-up 20% of your overall grade. Failure to take
the Final Exam will result in receiving a 0 for the exam and may cause you to
fail the course.
PROCTORED EXAMS:
o To take all the tests and the final exam students must go to one of the FSW
State Testing Centers or some other approved testing facility (during the dates
posted in section XI of the syllabus.)
o Information about the Florida SouthWestern State Testing Centers may be
found at
http://www.fsw.edu/online/testing. To receive approval for an alternate testing
center,
read
the
information
on
proctored
exams
found
at
http://www.fsw.edu/online/testing/proctoredexams
To use an alternate testing center, students must complete and submit a
Proctored Exam Form
at least 3 business days prior to the date of the exam.
MAKE-UP POLICY:
Make-ups will not be given. Please refer to the test dates listed in section XI and plan
accordingly. If a student misses a test, then the percentage grade of the Final Exam
will be counted in place of one missed test, if more than one test is missed they will
remain zeros. If a student has taken all of their tests, then their final exam score can
replace their lowest test score.
RESPECT:
Students are expected to treat each other and the professor with the utmost
respect. Flaming will not be tolerated. What is flaming? Flaming is the
writing or posting of hostile, offensive, threatening, insulting, or disrespectful
materials online, for example, on web pages and discussion boards, or the
sending of hostile, offensive, threatening, insulting, or disrespectful materials by
email, text messages, or via other means of written or online communication. You
are expected to be respectful to all members of the class and to the instructor at
all times. Offensive or inconsiderate emails, text messages, and/or online or
written communication having a hostile or disrespectful tone will NOT be
tolerated. All instances will be reported to the Vice President of Academic
Affairs. When you are assigned to create examples or to select data or information
for an assignment, you are expected to select topics that are not offensive,
threatening, insulting, or disrespectful to any member of the class or to the
instructor. Keep in mind that this is a course for a general audience and, as such,
all material should be appropriate for a general audience. Therefore, you should
keep in mind a G-rating (like for movie ratings, appropriate for general audience)
for all materials that you use for assignments, send to others, or provide for
examples during course discussions. Any offensive, threatening, insulting, or
disrespectful materials used in assignments or provided for examples during
course discussions, or sent by email, or via text message will be reported to the
Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dean of Students and the supporting
evidence will be forwarded.
VPAA: Revised 9/11, 3/14, 11/16

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: According to the Academic Integrity policy, the instructor

may: refer the student to the appropriate support service, assign a reduced grade
on the assignment, or assign a reduced letter grade for the course or give an F as
the course grade. The principles of academic integrity require that all work
submitted or presented without citation of sources will be the students

own work, not only on tests, but in themes, papers, homework, and class
presentations, unless it has been clearly specified that the work is a team
effort ( p.113 of College Catalog 2015/2016)
While study groups are encouraged, unless otherwise announced by your

instructor, all work turned in for a grade should be done independently. Any
submission by a student of someone elses work as his or her own or the use of
any prohibited aids during testing constitutes cheating. This includes
unauthorized use of a solutions manual, mathematical software or website. The
student will earn a zero for that assignment and will be referred to the Deans
Office. A second instance of academic dishonesty will result in a failing grade for
the course. It is each students responsibility to become familiar with the student
code of conduct and academic integrity policy found in the Florida SouthWestern
State College catalog.
VII.
ATTENDANCE POLICY:
There are no scheduled class meetings; however, participation is a crucial part of
this course and it will
be graded through several assignments located in Canvas and
fsw.mylabsplus.com. Do your best effort
to stay proactive about your grade performance and reach out for help whenever
you need it.
ATTENDANCE VERIFICATION

I understand that there are three requirements to verify my online attendance that must be
completed by Thursday, January 12, 2017. They are:
I must complete the syllabus quiz in Canvas.
I must complete the Mylabsplus orientation in the homework section of
mylabsplus.
I must print out the last page of this syllabus, sign it, and email it to Professor
Baker at cbaker4@fsw.edu
I understand that MAT1033 online students are required to purchase a Mylabsplus access code in
order to complete my online homework and quizzes at fsw.mylabsplus.com.
I understand that I am expected to complete the homework by the due date of each week. The
semester week starts on a Thursday so they end on a Wednesday and all homework (worth 10%
of my grade) needs to be completed by the Wednesday of a given week. I also understand that any
late assignments will be assessed a 10% penalty.
I understand that there are also quizzes due almost every week and once the due date is past, if I
have not taken the quiz, the grade will be a zero and the quiz will not be reopened. Quizzes are
worth 15% of my grade.
I understand that there are three chapter tests that I must take and complete by the given test date.
I understand that the first one (worth 15% of my grade) will be taken at home but that the last two

(worth 20% each of my grade) and the final must be taken at a testing site and that I will need to
plan ahead and make arrangements at least a week before taking the test.
6 I understand that I will also need to take a final exam between Thursday, April 27 and Tuesday,
May 2. I understand that the final exam is worth 20% of my grade and that I will receive a 0 if not
taken which will probably result in my not passing the course.
7 I understand that there is help available from my professor via phone calls or emails at
cbaker4@fsw.edu as well as from the math labs located on each campus.
8 I understand that Professor Baker will have online office hours on Tuesday night from 7 until 8 pm
through the Canvas Conference tab and if I have questions this would be a good way to get help.
9 I acknowledge that using notes from my assignments or previous tests (or quizzes), sharing a
calculator, going to websites, using a cell phone, any electronic device, (other than a calculator), or
talking to anyone during a quiz or a test is considered cheating. At the collegiate level, each case
of cheating is handled by the instructor and academic dean. Expulsion from college can result
from such an act.
10 I have read the Syllabus, and I understand the requirements of this course.
