Total 100%
Notes:
1. All tests and the final cumulative test are closed book. A Periodic Table and any other necessary charts will be
provided for each test and the final cumulative test. No crib sheets are permitted. IT IS THE STUDENT'S
RESPONSIBILITY TO HAVE A WORKING CALCULATOR FOR EACH TEST AND FOR THE FINAL
CUMULATIVE TEST.
2. Tests will include a variety of types of questions: multiple choice, problems and short answer questions.
3. Computerized marking sheets (Scantrons) are utilized for a portion of all tests. Each student must be prepared
with a pencil and eraser to use on these sheets and must ensure that answers are recorded correctly on the
Scantron. Any erasures must be noted to the teacher during the test time and will not be considered once the
test is returned.
4. The final cumulative test, written during week 14, will include material from Weeks 1 through 13. The final
cumulative test must be written at the scheduled time. It is the student's responsibility to access information
regarding the date and time of the final cumulative test. Students in this course are eligible for the missed final
cumulative test policy. The details of this policy are at http://www.durhamcollege.ca/academicpolicies
5. The in-process evaluation mark will be derived from open-book quizzes and assignments. Any that are missed
will receive a mark of zero. Assignments are due either in person or electronically at the beginning of class (ten
past the hour) on the due date. No late assignments are accepted. Ten quizzes/assignments (worth 2% each)
will be given throughout the semester. The top 8 marks will be used to calculate the final in-process evaluation
mark.
6. Note: 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 any technical issues prior to the deadlines for
submission of his/her work or evaluations. Visit the IT Service Desk Portal or call the Service Desk at
905.721.3333 should technical difficulties arise.
7. The midterm mark will be calculated from the mark on Test #1 plus an in-process evaluation mark derived from
the top 4 marks on the quizzes/assignments given to date. Five quizzes or assignments will be given prior to
midterm mark calculation.
3. TECHNOLOGY REQUIREMENTS
- high speed internet connection
- current Windows or Mac software
- scanner or smartphone for electronic submission of assignments
ATTENDANCE: Regular attendance is expected and is necessary for successful completion of this course. If a
student is absent from class, it is her/his responsibility to learn what was missed prior to the next class and to obtain
any documents that were distributed. As noted, random in-process quizzes and assignments worth 16% of the final
mark will be given, with no opportunity to make up if absent. Students are expected to bring their textbooks to class.
SUPPLEMENTAL WORK: 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.
DC CONNECT: Students must reference DC Connect regularly to keep up to date with this course. DC Mail is used
for e-mail communication.
ELECTRONIC DEVICES: It is expected that all electronic devices not being used as direct learning tools be turned
off in the learning environment.
TESTS: Students must be prepared to write tests at the scheduled time with appropriate materials i.e. pens, pencils,
calculator. Students arriving more than 20 minutes late for a test will not be allowed to write the test. There will be no
individual rewrites or rescheduling of tests missed due to absence. If for any reason a student is going to be absent
for a test or has been absent for a test, the weighting of the final test will be shifted so that it will also represent the
mark on the missed test (i.e. the final test would be worth 48%). A mark of "0" will be assigned to any other missed
test(s). Please be advised that tests will not be returned to students but that they will have an opportunity to review
the tests.
ACADEMIC ASSISTANCE: Additional help is available from the professor by appointment. Students requiring
assistance throughout the course may wish to investigate the services offered by the Student Academic Learning
Services (SALS), Room SSB 204 in the Student Services Building for peer tutoring, subject specific assistance,
improving study skills etc., or online at http://www.durhamcollege.ca/student-experience/helping-you-succeed/student-
academic-learning-services-sals. Services for students with exceptionalities are provided by the Access and Support
Center (ASC) office - SW116 in the Gordon Willey Building or online at http://www.durhamcollege.ca/student-
experience/helping-you-succeed/access-and-support-centre.
4. Course outlines should be retained for future needs (i.e. university credits, transfer of credits etc.)
Students will be notified in writing of changes that involve the addition or deletion of learning outcomes or
evaluations, prior to changes being implemented, as specified in the Course Outline Policy and Procedure at
Durham College.
