Please note that this syllabus provides a general outline for the semester; changes or adaptations may be required.

Please read and familiarize yourself with the policies contained in the syllabus. If you have any questions or concerns, then please ask me. Quiz 1 will be an iCollege quiz based on the syllabus.

I encourage you to take advantage of office hours. Often there is not sufficient time in class to ensure that every student understands the material presented. Clearing up a small problem early will often avoid much confusion later on. Please do not hesitate to contact me for assistance. If office hours are not convenient for you, please email or call me. I am often able to answer questions over the phone and it is no inconvenience to me. I would like to help you pass this course, but I cannot help if you do not ask.

Collaboration:
A significant time commitment on your part is necessary in order to be successful in this course. To maximize your efforts, you knowledge, and your understanding, I encourage you to form 'study groups'. These groups can help you understand the homework assignments and to prepare for tests. Keep in mind, you do not gain the conceptual understanding needed to pass the assessments for this course by copying someone else's work. I encourage you to work with, learn from, and assist your classmates; however, keep the following in mind:

• You should always initially try finding a solution on your own.
• If you decide to work with classmate(s), you should not takes notes during the collaboration. Once the group has determined the solution and everyone verified that the solution is correct, then you should, individually, re-work the problem. While re-working the problem, identify the key steps/ideas that you initially missed. Working in this manner will help you gain a better understanding of the concepts in this course.

Meaningful and constructive discussion is encouraged in this class. This requires a degree of mutual respect, willingness to listen, and tolerance of all student questions. Since every student is entitled to full participation in class without interruption, everyone is expected to recognize the value of contributions to the class discussion from all students.

Further assistance can be obtained from the Learning and Tutoring Center (see http://depts.gpc.edu/~gpcltc/ for hours of operation), located in CB-1200, which offers free tutoring.

Prerequisites: Math 2432 with C or better or placement.

Information on Performance Alert for Student Success (PASS):
Academic success is a top priority at GPC. Activities have been designed to alert both instructor and student in a timely manner if sufficient progress on certain core concepts is not being made. A performance alert for student success (PASS) will be sent to academically struggling students throughout the semester to inform students of their status in the course and to provide additional resources for assistance. The notification enables students to address any academic weakness that could affect their successful completion of the course. If a student receives a PASS, the student should meet with the instructor to discuss their performance in the course and to design an improvement plan. PASS messages will be sent via email and by SMS text messaging.

Assignments:
You should read the appropriate section of your text prior to class. Mathematica projects are DUE at the beginning of class on the due date. Late projects will NOT be accepted.

Unscheduled GPC Closings
In the event that this course is not able to meet face-to-face due to an unscheduled closing of any GPC campus, students should log into iCollege for further directions regarding the course. During this time, students will be responsible for the material and assignments given by the instructor on iCollege.

Make-up Work:
You are responsible for all work. If you are absent on any particular day, you will need to obtain any notes from a classmate.

Missed Test/Quiz Policy:
Make-up tests will NOT be given for ANY reason. The first missed test will be your drop test. Any other missed test will be given a grade of zero. No make-up quizzes will be given for ANY reason. Any missed quiz will be given a grade of zero. All quizzes will be given at the beginning of every class period. The door to the classroom will be closed at the start of the quiz and will NOT be opened until the quizzes are completed. This is to ensure there are no disruptions or distractions to the students, who arrived to class on time, taking the quiz.

Behavior Policy:
You are expected to demonstrate generally accepted classroom behavior. The Student Handbook gives a detailed description of acceptable behaviors. You are expected to know and follow these guidelines. In particular, you are expected to refrain from using any non-educational technology during class, including, but not limited to portable music players and cell phones. If you are using a laptop during class, you are expected to refrain from using non-educational websites including, but not limited to social networking websites.

Students are expected to treat one another collegially and respectfully – even while disagreeing on an issue. The members of this course form a community. You are each expected to refer to one another by name. If you don't know someone's name, ask. Consider this your opportunity to work on skills that will serve you for the rest of your professional life. Questions and comments are welcome – this is an active learning community. Please feel free to contribute your responses to the class discussion, connections you see between course material and what you may have learned or experienced elsewhere, and questions. You also contribute by listening to your colleagues. The class is a community of learners, so please give all students the opportunity to engage in the class discussion.
