Course Orientation

This course is entirely online except for the final, which will be held in-person during finals week. This is the only in-person class meeting, and it is required. Students who do not take the in-person final exam will fail the course. Please do not sign up for the course unless you are certain that you can take the in-person final exam.

Adding the Class

Students who are waitlisted may add the class once the semester begins by submitting a Class Add Request on the first day of class. I will add all waitlisted students who submit this request on the first day.  I will consider adding students who submit this request later in the first week. I will not add students after the first week has finished. MATH 90/90S is 8-units, and missing a single week is like missing two weeks in a regular course.

If you anticipate having issues adding the class for any reason, please let me know before the semester begins so I can help.

Dropping the Class

If you decide to discontinue this course, it is your responsibility to officially drop it to avoid getting no refund (after 10% of course length), a W symbol (after 20%), or a grade (after 60%). Also, for several consecutive, unexplained absences, the instructor may drop a student.

Please note that students attending via Free City College who drop their course after the No Refund date will be charged for the full cost of the class. Many students do not realize this and end up owing hundreds of dollars. Be responsible with adding and dropping courses!

Attendance

Students must complete homework and discussions assignments every week. If a student misses two consecutive weeks of homework or discussions, they will be given a warning. If they miss three consecutive weeks of homework or discussions, they will be withdrawn from the course.

Students who stop participating in class or who are disruptive in any way may be withdrawn from the course without warning.
