Course Policies

Late work

Late work is generally accepted without penalty, except for Checkpoint dates where there is a specific time frame that they need to be done by. The due dates for assignments are meant to be guidelines, meaning students want to at least look (or attempt) over the assignment by the given due date. I encourage students to look back at old assignments periodically, as this can help students retain information better and not be overwhelmed when taking the Final Assessment.

Attendance Policy

Attendance in this asynchronous class involves:

Attempting all assignments on time (if you do not attempt more than 5 consecutive assignments you may be dropped from this class) NOTE: It is the students responsibility for dropping a course if they do not decide to take it.

Logging on to Canvas (if you do not sign on to Canvas for 10 consecutive days you may be dropped from this class)

Also, see below for important dates:

Student Accessibility Services (SAS)

As much as I love math and hope that students do too, I do understand that there are many anxieties surrounding the subject that can make it more difficult to learn. It is a real thing and we can accommodate to anyone who has this issue.

Any student with a documented disability is encouraged to contact SAS as early in the semester as possible so that we may arrange reasonable accommodations. I am more than happy to show anyone where this is as well. Everyone at the SAS office is friendly and willing to help. As part of this process, please be in touch with SAS. SAS is located in D-117; their phone number is (510)748-2328.

Note on Regularity

In order to succeed in any course, it is important to keep up with everything. Since this is an online class, it is easy to procrastinate and wait until the last minute to compete work. This can potentially create a very stressful situation in the class. So I highly recommend that students create a weekly schedule for doing the work, and by work I mean Video Notes, Online Homework, Video Reflections, Discussions, and time for preparing for each Checkpoint. Remember, it is estimated that students should spend about 8 (maybe more) hours per week on this class. Keeping a set schedule for yourself will highly improve chances for success in the class.
