Notes:
1. GRADE CALCULATIONS:
Grading Expectations- Due to the nature of this subject and the types of evaluations involved where hand-written
work must be carefully assessed and feedback recorded, the professor can be expected to return student work
within about one week. Marks will be posted on DC Connect as soon as they are available. This policy excludes
the online lab assignments that are graded immediately upon completion. Those lab marks will appear directly in
the DC Connect Grades for viewing.
Midterm Grade - The midterm mark for this course will be calculated using the results of the first test (15%), the
best 3 out of 4 labs (7.5%), and the best 2 out of 3 in-process & assignments (8%%) for a mark out of 30.5%,

representing the amount of completed course content in the first 7 weeks.
2. TESTS AND EXAMS:
Dates - Students must be prepared to write all tests and the exam at the scheduled time and place.
Online students only: All tests and the exam are invigilated live online at the location of choice. Therefore,
these students must ensure they have registered and confirmed their tests and exam times with the live online
proctoring service in sufficient time to ensure a proctor can be assigned during the scheduled evaluation period.
Instructions will be posted in DC Connect for this invigilation process.
Format- All tests and the final exam will be closed-book and pencil-and-paper based. It is the students'
responsibility to bring the appropriate tools to these evaluations (e.g. pencil, eraser, pen, calculator (if allowed)).
Students are encouraged to show all steps/work to demonstrate their understanding of the concepts on the
evaluations by providing full answers/solutions where possible. There are no multiple choice questions on these
evaluations. Part-marks will be given when possible.
Online students will be required to input their final answers in the DC Connect Quiz Tool and then upload their
handwritten work to the Assignment Tool for evaluation and for full marks to be possible.
Marked Tests- Graded tests will be returned to students. Online students can expect graded tests to be
returned in their Assignment Tool in DC Connect.
Late Arrivals- Students will not be permitted to write a term test if they arrive more than 20 minutes late, and
students will not be permitted to leave during the first 20 minutes once the test has begun. If a student is late
and permitted entry, no extra time will be allotted for writing the test.
Missed Tests- There will be no individual rewrites, make-up tests, or rescheduling of term tests because of
absence. If, for any reason whatsoever, a student is absent for a test, the weighting of the final exam will be
shifted so that it will also represent the mark for the missed test e.g. the final exam would be worth 40% (Test
15% + Exam 25%). This make-up opportunity is only available for one missed test; a mark of "0" will be
assigned to any other missed test.
Exam- The final exam is written during the college-wide exam week (week 15). The exam is comprehensive,
covering content from weeks 1 through 14. IT IS THE STUDENT'S RESPONSIBILITY TO ACCESS
INFORMATION REGARDING THE DATE AND TIME OF THE FINAL EXAM.
Students in this course are eligible for the missed final exam policy. The details of
this policy and the procedure to follow, if required, are found at: http://www.durhamcollege.ca/academicpolicies
under the headings Missed Final Examinations Policy and Missed Final Examinations Procedure
3. IN-PROCESS AND ASSIGNMENTS:
Dates- In-process evaluations and assignments are scheduled by the professor to coordinate with the learning
activities and the term tests.
There are no make-up opportunities for in-process evaluations or assignments during the semester. All
assignments are due by the date and time deadline indicated on the document and/or as posted on DC Connect
whether the student is absent at the time or not.
For online students, all deadlines will be clearly indicated in the appropriate DC Connect Tool e.g.
Announcements, Quiz, Assignments, Calendar.
The final mark for the In-Process and Assignments portion of the course will be determined using the best 5 out
of 7 marks ( each weighted equally).
No test review assignments will be accepted after the answers are posted on DC Connect. Assignments that
are accepted after the due date will receive a deduction of 10%
(of the achieved mark) per calendar day late. Late assignments will not be accepted after graded work has been
returned to the class or after the solutions and answers have been discussed in class or posted on DC Connect
.

Marked evaluations- All graded in-process and assignment evaluations will be returned to students. Marks will
appear in DC Connect Grades as soon as they are available.
4. ONLINE LABS:
Access- All students are required to purchase the access to Enhanced WebAssign (see Required Text(s) and
Supplies) in order to complete this portion of the course (25% of final grade).

Course Specific Policies and Expectations:
ABSENCES:
In the event of an absence, it is the student's responsibility to find out from peers what was missed, prior to coming to
the next class. Missed information may include notes, handouts, practice questions, group work and/or assignments.
The student is also expected to review the missed material on his/her/their own, or with a classmate. The professor
will be available (by appointment) to discuss any concerns or to review any content that the student is having difficulty
with, but it is not the professor's responsibility to re-teach what the student missed during the entire lecture class time.
All assignments are due by the date and time deadline(s) indicated on the document and/or as posted on DC Connect
whether the student is absent at the time or not.
Graded tests, in-process work and assignments will be handed back to students in class. If a student is absent at the
time, the professor will retain the papers and an appointment should be made to arrange to pick up the work. It is the
student's responsibility to obtain and retain graded tests and assignments for future reference.
Although attendance doesn't apply directly to online students, deadlines will be adhered to in the same way, and
students' work will be returned electronically when marking is completed. It is the student's responsibility to access
the returned files and view the feedback noted on the documents. DC Connect retains these files for future reference.
Students are encouraged to discuss academic concerns with the professor as early as possible, should the need arise.
Additional help from the professor is available (by appointment) for individuals or groups on an as-needed basis or on a
regularly scheduled basis.
Academic issues that can affect a student's success may also be discussed with the Student Advisor in the School of
Interdisciplinary Studies (Rm SW216) e.g. course selection, success strategies, and personal situations that may
require accommodation. Contact information for the School of Interdisciplinary Studies can be found at:
http://www.durhamcollege.ca/student-experience/helping-you-succeed/academic-support-resources/student-advisors
The Student Academic Learning Services (SALS, located on the 2nd floor of the Student Services Building) is highly
recommended for students who need extra support for mathematics. At SALS, (or through the SALS course on a
student's DC Connect homepage or their website) students can access computerized tutorials for individual skill
development. SALS also provides peer tutoring, subject specific assistance, workshops for improving study skills and
preparing for tests and exams, as well as peer study groups. (For further information about SALS, please see:
www.durhamcollege.ca/sals)
Services for students with exceptionalities are provided by the Access and Support Centre (ASC), Room SW116 in
the Gordon Willey building (For more information visit: www.durhamcollege.ca/asc)
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY (ORIGINAL WORK):
(Refer to general college policies at http://www.durhamcollege.ca/academicpolicies and select Academic Integrity

Policy and the Academic Integrity Procedure for specific information)
When submitting any work for grading, it is expected that students will submit their own work. Although group work
may be part of the assignment process, each student must interpret and record his/her findings and solutions in an
original way. Marks will be deducted, up to the full worth of the assignment, for copying the work of another person.
Please note that taking the work of another student (or information downloaded from the internet) and submitting as if it
was your own, even if you 'tweak' it, is still considered plagiarism. If a student is unclear about what constitutes
plagiarism in this course, the professor needs to be consulted. Durham College views plagiarism as a serious
academic offence.
ATTENDANCE:
Attendance has been shown to be the best predictor of student success. The only way to ensure that students are
able to keep pace with the new concepts being taught, or to clarify and reinforce information, is to be in class. To that
end, a number of in-class activities will be evaluated throughout the semester, e.g. quizzes, assignments, and group
work. There are no make-up opportunities for these activities; however, only the top 5 out of 7 of these marks will be
used in the final mark calculation.
Online Math 1 Students please note: Although physical attendance in a classroom is not applicable, the viewing of,
and interaction with the weekly content, including the instructional videos, is considered class time. Practice
exercises, labs and assignments require an investment of additional time.

DC CONNECT:
Students must REGULARLY access and reference DC Connect (the college learning management system) to keep
up to date with this course. Notifications by email and/or text can be easily set up to send reminders when content,
discussions, news items and grades are updated.
DC Mail is used for email communications.
IN-CLASS EXPECTATIONS:
At all times, students are expected to respect the rights of other students to have a distraction-free learning
environment. A student who is not able to fulfil this expectation may be asked to leave the classroom and he/she
would then be obliged to independently complete the assignments and/or prepare for the tests and/or the exam.
To assist in maintaining a distraction-free learning environment, students are expected to arrive on time, have their cell
phones turned off, and be prepared for class with the appropriate text and supplies (e.g. a calculator, a sharpened
pencil or a pen, a notebook, etc.). If a student uses a tablet or laptop computer, it is expected that any programs that
are not directly related to the learning activities in the classroom e.g. e-mail, social media, games, etc., will be closed.
LEARNING PLAN (found in the next section):
The learning plan is the same for both the face-to-face and the online Math 1 streams. However, the method
of delivery is different.
ONLINE LABS:
The online labs represent a formal opportunity to practice the concepts covered in the lecture portion of the course.
One-on-one or group assistance from the professor can be arranged by appointment either to meet face-to-face, or to
meet online via an appropriate communication technology. Students may also be able to access peers for assistance
in these ways.
Information about accessing the online lab assignments will be posted on DC Connect. Students will be given written
and verbal/video instructions about how to set up their accounts and how to get into their assignments. IT IS THE
STUDENT'S RESPONSIBILITY TO CREATE HIS/HER ACCOUNT FOR THE ONLINE LABS by following the
posted instructions carefully.
Any technical difficulties associated with the math labs must be reported immediately to the professor using e-mail. A
detailed description of the issue must be provided. If the computer being used is on campus/in residence, or the issue
is related to accessing DC Connect, a Service Desk ticket number must be provided to verify the technical issue (visit
the IT Service Desk Portal or call the Service Desk at 905.721.3333). If the online labs/assignments website is
having issues, technical support for students is available by clicking the Help button and accessing FAQ information or
Customer Support from the menu. It is the student's responsibility to resolve any technical issues prior to the
deadlines for submission of lab assignments.
There are no make-up opportunities for missed lab assignments; however, the final mark for this component of the
course will be calculated using the top 10 of the 12 lab assignments.
OUT-OF-CLASS EXPECTATIONS:
Regular homework, or practice, from the textbook exercises, is an essential part of this course because it provides the
opportunity to apply the concepts covered in class, reinforce the processes used and build confidence working with the
concepts. Students should expect to spend time after each class/lecture topic developing the skills needed to move on
to the next concepts in the course. Many mathematical concepts are built on the more basic ones covered at the
beginning of the course, and without a good understanding of the basics, moving ahead can often become difficult.
Practice is the only way to demonstrate understanding before being faced with a test or an exam.
Problems encountered with practice exercises can be address in class or by appointment with the professor.
Online students are encouraged to communicate by email and/or book one-on-one Skype appointments with the
professor when assistance or clarification is needed.

SUPPLEMENTAL WORK (extra assignments):
Students WILL NOT BE ALLOWED to complete any supplemental work to boost their grades. It is in the student's
best interest to complete all assigned work with maximal effort.
TESTS AND THE EXAM:
(See Evaluation Notes)
USING TECHNOLOGY:
Computer malfunctions or problems will never be accepted as an excuse for late or missing course requirements. It is
the student's responsibility to resolve technical issues prior to the deadlines for submission of his/her/their work or
evaluations.
Refer to the following documents for further details concerning the college policies on acceptable use of information
technology and the rights and responsibilities of students:
