Wear your headphones when listening to the lessons. c) No food, beverages, or gum will be allowed in the lab. Cell phones and pagers should be on vibrate mode. d) Before leaving, pick up all your items including headphones, CDs, and other personal belongings.

Web browsing, gaming, and chatting is prohibited. g) Printing should be limited to Reviews or questions of concern such as a wrong answer was provided or the question does not make any sense. Please bring these concerns to your instructor immediately so that you can get assistance. Placement Criteria a) Diagnostic Exams will be administered to determine your placement in MA110, MA098, or MA095.

Placement in College Algebra, Intermediate Algebra, and Elementary Algebra will be determined as follows: 1. If you have successfully completed MA098, OR have an ACT score in mathematics of at least 22, OR obtain at least an 18 on the Diagnostic Exam, you will be placed in MA110 College Algebra. 2. If you have successfully completed MA095, OR have an ACT score in mathematics of at least 19, OR obtain at least a 13 on the Diagnostic Exam, you will be placed in MA098 Intermediate Algebra. 3.

Documentation for other emergencies should be presented to your instructor ASAP. Mr. Jim Telfer will make the final decision as to the approval of makeup. b) Arrangements must be made with the instructor in advance whenever possible. c) The course instructor or Mr. Telfer will have the right to deem a document as unacceptable. d) Documentation should be presented to your instructor before arranging make-up exams. e) Students should turn in a copy of their assignment score to their instructor in order to receive credit on make-up assignments. Attendance Attendance is expected. It is recommended that students watch the videos before coming to class whenever possible and seek the instructors help during class time to complete the homework. All exams must be taken in the classroom at the time your class meets and at the scheduled time of the test. It is our experience that the success rate is high only among the students who come to class regularly and seek help from the instructor. Academic Dishonesty At all times it is expected that the student will do his or her own work. If there is evidence to the contrary, or the student is caught cheating on an exam, the student will receive a failing grade for the course. Accommodations Emporia State University will make reasonable accommodations for persons with documented disabilities. Students need to contact the Director of Disability Services and the professor as early in the semester as possible to ensure that classroom and academic accommodations are implemented in a timely fashion. All communications between students, the Office of Disability Services, and the professor will be strictly confidential. |
