Late registration will not add additional grades to be dropped. Final percent grades will be rounded up to the tenth’s place. Final letter grades will be based the following cutoffs. A:  90% A–:  85% B+:  80%B:  75% B–:  70% C+:  65% C:  55% D:  45% F: < 45% Note: The only part of the course where attendance is absolutely required is workshop. You must earn a 55% in workshop in order to pass the course overall. COURSEWORK Lecture Lecture classes are interactive learning sessions designed to help you understand the key concepts and apply them in exercises and problems. You will work on these activities with others in the class and report your answers with clicker questions (usually 2–4 per class). You will receive 100% for each day you participate whether you get the correct answer or not. This is just to encourage you to be interactive and get feedback in a timely manner.  Live lecture will be offered MWF 10:30 AM – 11:25 AM and 2:40 PM – 3:35 PM EST in Frey Hall 102 and recordings through Echo360. Students can either log into the Turning Point app or to https://participant.turningtechnologies.com website directly to answer clicker questions live. The session ID will be CHE132SP22.  You may want to bring pre–printed lecture notes or download a pdf the lecture notes to have access to the formulas and other data needed to solve the class problems.  Answers to clicker questions and/or additional notes from class will be posted on Blackboard. Reading Your book should serve as resource. If you do not understand a topic from lecture, there are sometimes YouTube videos or websites such as khan academy to explain things but really your book was chosen because it’s a good resource. It explains topics in depth so you can read at your own pace. There are optional recommended readings in your book through Mastering. Additionally, Tro Mastering has explanatory videos that give an overview of the topic. Sections of the book that will be covered are available in the class schedule. ALEKS Problem solving is the single most important step towards succeeding in this course and is the only effective way to perform well in the class. Working out ALEKS, clicker questions and workshop exercises will strengthen your problem–solving skills.

Regular online homework will use the ALEKS system. There will be generally one ALEKS Objective Assignment due each week on Sunday at 11:59 PM covering the previous week of lecture topics unless otherwise specified. See the Class Schedule for more detail.  The first ALEKS Objective will be due Sunday January 30th 11:59 PM.  An ALEKS Summary grade will also be assessed. It is a percentage of topics in your ALEKS Pie. When you take a knowledge check, you can lose topics. In order to regain topics in your ALEKS Pie you must relearn these lost topics. You can only relearn lost topics after the Objective for the week is completed. You have until the final exam to finish filling your ALEKS Pie. Mastering Reading assignments (not graded) in the online textbook will be accompanied by short “quizzes” called dynamic study modules (graded) that will be due the within one to two days after the completion of each chapter.

Attendance Attendance in lecture is determined by your clicker participation. All absences will be scored as a zero unless you email Dr. Amarante with an excused reason.  Excused absences should be emailed as close to the absence as possible but definitely by the last day of class. Examples include coronavirus, coronavirus–related caretaking duties, car accidents, summons for court, other personal illness, death in the family, hospitalization.  A standard two weeks of excused absences are granted for coronavirus–related illnesses by you or your family members but you should email Dr. Amarante, especially if the absences occur around quiz times and/or the final exam. Please email Dr. Amarante even if you request standard coronavirus–related absences so appropriate plans can be made.  If you suffer from medical or personal issues, please contact the Dean of Students Student Support Team. They are here to help you through difficult circumstances. [email protected]  Note: The only part of the course where attendance is absolutely required is workshop. You must earn a 55% in workshop in order to pass the course overall. Make Up Policy There are no make–up exams. Exams can be excused if you email Dr. Amarante with an excused reason. All students must take the final exam. Unexcused absence will result in a score of 0. A student who is unable to take the final exam because of illness or other extenuating circumstances must send an email to Dr. Amarante either before the exam or within 24 hours following the exam. Only then will a grade of incomplete (I) be assigned. The make–up final will be given Wednesday August 24, 2022 from 1:00 – 3:30 PM. Failure to take the final or make–up final exam will result in a course grade of F. Student Responsibilities Each student is responsible for knowing all procedures and course expectations detailed in this document, in other handouts or announced during lectures or workshops or in Blackboard. Failure to attend a lecture or workshop is not an excuse for not knowing what was presented or announced. If you miss a lecture or workshop it is your responsibility to find out what transpired from a fellow student, or from your instructor. GETTING HELP Office Hours o Office hours are an open time when you can come ask any questions you like about the course. To best use office hours, you should come prepared with a question. It can be a simple question, or it could be “I don’t understand all of xxxx.” Once your question or questions are answered, you may leave. This is an informal, drop–in time to get material clarified. 5

This will actually connect your clicker and subscription to the class so you can respond with your device. o

LIVE CLASS PROTOCOLS/NETIQUETTE Stony Brook University expects students to maintain standards of personal integrity that are in harmony with the educational goals of the institution; to observe national, state, and local laws and University regulations; and to respect the rights, privileges, and property of other people. Any behavior that interrupts the ability of instructors to teach, the safety of the learning environment, and/or students' ability to learn will be reported to University Community Standards. Students who display such behavior may be asked to consult with one of the course instructors or asked to leave a class session, whereupon University Police will be notified. Information on campus policy regarding student disruptions can be found at http://www.stonybrook.edu/sb/behavior.shtml. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY STATEMENT Each student must pursue his or her academic goals honestly and be personally accountable for all submitted work. Representing another person's work as your own is always wrong. Faculty are required to report any suspected instances of academic dishonesty to the Academic Judiciary. Faculty in the Health Sciences Center (School of Health Technology & Management, Nursing, Social Welfare, Dental Medicine) and School of Medicine are required to follow their school– specific procedures. For more comprehensive information on academic integrity, including categories of academic dishonesty, please refer to the academic judiciary website at http://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/academic_integrity/index.html In this course you are strongly encouraged to work with others to master the material in the class activities, workshops, and ALEKS homework. However, in working with others to arrive at your response to a question, you must understand and be able to explain the rationale behind your response and not just report someone else's answer. It is intellectually dishonest to report
