Textbook and Materials This course is part of the UTA Mathematics Department Affordability Campaign, making state-of-the-art online mathematics resources available to our students at the lowest possible price when compared to purchasing elsewhere. To receive the discounted price, purchase course materials through the UTA Bookstore. Search by course or use this site: http://bit.ly/2tQ090S 1. E-text and Direct Access (Required): Your course materials include the e-version of the course text as well as MyLab course access which is designed to enrich student success by providing instant feedback on your assignments plus on-demand access to personalized study plans, a multimedia library, practice tests, and more. The e-texts may be downloaded for offline use. Every student has trial access to MyLab course materials as soon as the course is available in Canvas, so you can start working on your course even before you purchase the course materials! That said, students will need a verified purchase within the first two weeks of classes, otherwise, the access to your digital materials will freeze and your account will stay deactivated until the purchase is confirmed. During the purchasing process, please ensure you enter your name as shown on your UTA records along with your MAVS email address for proper processing. 1

Attendance Policy At The University of Texas at Arlington, taking attendance is not required but attendance is a critical indicator of student success. Each faculty member is free to develop his or her own methods of evaluating students’ academic performance, which includes establishing course-specific policies on attendance. As the instructor of this section, section, At the University of Texas at Arlington, taking attendance is not required but attendance is a critical indicator of student success. Each faculty member is free to develop his or her own methods of evaluating students’ academic performance, which includes establishing course-specific policies on attendance. As the instructor of this section, I will take attendance each class day using the attendance+ app in Canvas. While UT Arlington does not require instructors to take attendance in their courses, the U.S. Department of Education requires that the University have a mechanism in place to mark when Federal Student Aid recipients “begin attendance in a course.” UT Arlington instructors will report when students begin attendance in a course as part of the final grading process. Specifically, when assigning a student a grade of F, faculty report must the last date a student attended their class based on evidence such as a test, participation in a class project or presentation, or an engagement online via Canvas. This date is reported to the Department of Education for federal financial aid recipients. NOTE: The summer 2020 courses are on-campus courses instructed online due to COVID-19. Students are required to be available during the scheduled meeting times for the lecture and the lab. Both lecture and lab meetings will occur online via Canvas Conferences. 

The attendance requirement is 2% of your overall course grade.

Schedule of Lessons and Exams You must complete all assignments and exams by the due dates. Due dates are listed in MyLab and also in the Course Summary located on the Canvas Syllabus. All deadline times are in Central Time. 2

Homework All homework will be accessed through Canvas as links to MyLab. All electronic homework are available to you on the first class day. The automated system will provide feedback on assignments immediately upon submission.  



 

NO late homework will be accepted, so watch the due dates on the calendar. You will receive a zero for any assignments not submitted. There is a homework assignment covering each section of material. Homework assignments are set for unlimited access up until the due date. You may complete homework assignments a question at a time and you have 3 attempts per question. All homework assignments contain some learning aids to help you through the material. Be careful not to become overly dependent on these aids or you may not perform well on the exams. You have multiple chances at a question per attempt. If you have trouble completing the assignments, please seek some form of tutoring and/or see your instructor for assistance. Once an assignment is completed please allow up to 24 hours for grades to post to the canvas grade book. Additionally, in progress assignments will begin to post to the canvas grade book once they’re opened. As you work through the assignment this posted grade will start off at 0% and rise as you continue to correctly answer the problems.

Quizzes All lab quizzes will be accessed through Canvas as links to MyLab. All electronic quiz assignments are available for ONE DAY ONLY to correspond with that specific lab session. The automated system will provide feedback on assignments immediately upon submission.  

Academic Integrity It is the philosophy of The University of Texas at Arlington that academic dishonesty is a completely unacceptable mode of conduct and will not be tolerated in any form. This course includes a zero-tolerance policy for academic dishonesty and students are expected to adhere to the UT Arlington Honor Code: I pledge, on my honor, to uphold UT Arlington’s tradition of academic integrity, a tradition that values hard work and honest effort in the pursuit of academic excellence. I promise that I will submit only work that I personally create or contribute to group collaborations, and I will appropriately reference any work from other sources. I will follow the highest standards of integrity and uphold the spirit of the Honor Code. UT Arlington faculty members may employ the Honor Code in their courses by having students acknowledge the honor code as part of an examination or requiring students to incorporate the honor code into any work submitted. Per UT System Regents’ Rule 50101, §2.2, suspected violations of university’s standards for academic integrity (including the Honor Code) will be referred to the Office of Student Conduct. Violators will be disciplined in accordance with University policy, which may result in the student’s suspension or expulsion from the University. Additional information is available at https://www.uta.edu/conduct/. Students found guilty of cheating may receive a grade of “F” for the course. "Scholastic dishonesty includes but is not limited to cheating, plagiarism, collusion, the submission for credit of any work or materials that are attributable in whole or in part to another person, taking an examination for another person, any act designed to give unfair advantage to a student or the attempt to commit such acts."
