Instructors have provided the following information to generally describe what to expect in their classes.

Math

Class Format

Typical Class Format - All Face-to-face sections are taught using a mix of lecture, individual practice, and group work format. A typical class will begin with announcements and questions followed by a presentation of new material. Questions are always welcome whether in-class, in my office, or by email. All ONOSE sections are taught through a combination of videos, classroom lecture notes from face-to-face sections, and homework problems that include guided help. ONOSE exams are typically given on Friday afternoons and require a photo ID.

Resource Use

Online homework is used for all courses.

Physical Textbooks are optional for all courses since the textbooks and homework are offered online. Students have the option to purchase or rent a physical textbook as they see fit.

Calculators are used to supplement learning. The appropriate use of calculators is discussed in many contexts. For MATH 171 a graphing calculator is required; for other classes it is optional and helpful, but a scientific calculator is sufficient.

Assessment

Online homework is assigned weekly in all classes and will count toward the semester grade. This homework must be turned in on time to receive maximum credit; a 20% penalty will apply to all late homework with no exceptions.

Homework Policy

Homework is required for all classes. Late homework is penalized 40% for all questions completed after the due date. Late homework must be completed by the last class period before the Final Exam.

Attendance Policy

Students should expect that any missed class time may result in an incomplete understanding of the material. This, in turn, may adversely affect grades. However, attendance is not used in grade calculations. If an absence is anticipated, students may arrange to take an exam early, but no exams may be taken after the scheduled exam date due to an absence. The final exam percentage may be used as a replacement for the lowest unit exam score if the unit exam score is lower than the final exam score. This rule also applies to a missed exam.
