MATH DEPARTMENT CLASS POLICIES    

ATTENDANCE POLICY:  Class will begin promptly.  Please be in your seat and ready to begin at starting time.  Attendance every day is expected.  If you must miss class, you are responsible for knowing any and all materials and announcements covered in class.  You are expected to stay in the classroom until class is dismissed.

ADD/DROP POLICY:  The last day to add a course is census date.  Prior to census date you may drop the class with a grade of "W" for any reason.  After census date and until March 17, 2008 you may drop the class with a grade of "W" only if you have made a conscientious effort to succeed in the course (i.e., have taken all exams and quizzes, turned in all homework requested, and attended class.)  After that date dropping the class will result in a grade of "F".

CLASS CODE:  Do not carry on conversations in class with your neighbors or make noise that disrupts the class.  Also, the class is not a place to read newspapers, etc., do other assignments, or sleep.  Unacceptable behavior may result in your being asked to leave or even receiving an "F" for the class.   Please turn your cell phones off or do not bring them to class.  Attending class under the influence of alcohol or other substances will not be tolerated.  You should be aware of and abide by the Fort Lewis College student conduct code (Section 3 of the Student Handbook.) http://www.fortlewis.edu/shared/content_objects/student_affairs//student_handbook.pdf

No tobacco of any kind is permitted in the classroom.  Also, please be aware that smoking is not permitted within 50 feet of any building on campus.

E-MAIL:  The College’s official means of communication is through your FLC e-mail account.  You should check it regularly (at least once a week).

CHEATING:  Cheating comes in many forms (copying information from your neighbor, using "crib" sheets, plagiarism, etc.) and will not be tolerated. If you are found cheating, you may expect an "F" for the class and be reported to the Office of Academic Affairs.  You should be aware of and abide by the Fort Lewis College Academic Integrity and Academic Dishonesty policies (in Academic Policies and Procedures). http://www.fortlewis.edu/cmsdocs/course_catalog/AcademicPolicies07-08.pdf

Expect to have your calculator checked during quizzes and exams and do not share calculators during quizzes and exams.  Please do your own homework.  Study groups are encouraged but do not merely copy another person's paper. 

EXAMS:  You are expected to take exams at the scheduled times.  The date and time for the final exam is scheduled by the FLC Records Office and cannot be changed.  You are responsible for being aware of the final exam schedule.

DISABILITIES:  Students with disabilities have equal access and equal opportunity in this course.  If you require reasonable accommodations to fully participate in course activities or meet course requirements, you must register with Disability Services, 280 Noble Hall, 247-7459. If you qualify for services, bring your letter of accommodation to your professor as soon as possible.

PREREQUISITES:  Prerequisites for Math classes must be satisfied with a grade of at least C-.
