This class will be conducted in the traditional format of face-to-face lectures. When taking this class, students must:

• attend the class, as scheduled;
• actively participate in class work;
• prepare assigned reading;
• submit assigned homework;
• pass all in-class quizzes and the final exam.

There will be six exams and a comprehensive final exam. The practice test corresponding to the upcoming exam must be completed on or before the scheduled test date with all work shown. Each student is required to keep up with the class by completing the required problems in order to succeed on the exams. Each exam may be retaken until a student receives 80% mastery, not to exceed 4 attempts. Students are required to complete, one class in advance, the individually assigned problems prior to retaking an exam. It is essential for students to attend class, complete all homework and class assignments, take notes and satisfactorily complete all 6 exams and a cumulative final exam. It is the student's responsibility to keep up with the class and at the same time study for any previous material to be made up. Once an exam begins, students may not leave the room until they complete the exam.

Make-up tests will be given only for documented emergencies, and then only at the instructor's discretion and convenience. However, if you have a good reason, please do ask for consideration.

• During a regular class, students are permitted to use a calculator, but must bring it on their own.
• During an examination, students may only use a non-graphing calculator, and only when calculators are permitted otherwise (see below).
• Cell phones, graphing calculators, tablets, computers and all other electronic devices (with the exception of non-graphing calculators) are strictly prohibited during examinations, even if not used. Having such devices in the open when taking a test is a sufficient reason for an immediate failing grade for that test.
• Students may not use a calculator during examinations on the chapters where the emphasis is computational:
  • Operations on Whole Numbers
  • Fractions
  • Decimals
  • Real Number System (Signed Numbers)
• If a student has been approved by the Office of Disability Services to use a calculator due to the nature of his or her disability, the student may use a non-graphing calculator, but only on the chapters where the emphasis is more conceptual than computational:
  • Ratio and Proportion
  • Percent
  • Geometry
• The student may use a non-graphing calculator on the final exam only for those problems testing ratio, proportion, percent, and geometry. The departmental final is divided into two parts: Part 1, no calculator; Part 2, calculator.

The class will be conducted in real time, face-to-face, in the format of a traditional lecture, as scheduled.

The College expects that each student will exercise personal responsibility with regard to class attendance. All students are expected to attend every class session of each course for which they are registered. Students are responsible for all that transpires in class whether or not they are in attendance, even if absences are the result of late registration or add/drop activity at the beginning of a term as permitted by College policy. The College defines excessive absence or lateness as more than the equivalent of one week of class meetings during the semester. Excessive absence or lateness may lead to failure in, or removal from, the course.

Any student who enrolls in this course after the first meeting, regardless of reason, is accountable for all course requirements including assignments and attendance.

Arriving late, leaving early or taking unreasonably long breaks will be recorded as partial absence.

A student may be required to drop or withdraw from a course when, in the judgment of the instructor, absences have been excessive. A student may also be withdrawn from a course by the Associate Dean of Student Services or the Student Conduct Board following a disciplinary hearing for violating the Student Code of Conduct as described in the Student Handbook.

Students are advised to report COVID-positive test results to the Health Services Office via email healthserv-grant@sunysuffolk.edu or phone (631) 851-6709.

A PCR, or a rapid test taken at a facility, or a home test, will all be acceptable.  Students must provide a copy of the test result along with a copy of a photo ID.

Students who miss class for any illness should contact the instructor as soon as possible to discuss reasonable adjustments that might need to be made. When possible, students should contact the instructor before missing class.

As provided for in New York State Education Law §224-a, student's absence from a class necessitated by religious observance will be deemed an excused absence, with no academic consequences. Students must notify their professor at least one week prior to their absence due to a religious observance. The notification must be made via their College email, or otherwise in writing, Observing students shall be granted reasonable arrangements and/or be permitted a reasonable amount of time to make up missed quizzes, tests, assignments, and activities covered in their absence. Please refer to the Religious Observance Policy for additional information.

Disruptive behaviors, as defined by the Student Handbook, will not be tolerated. In case of violations, the college policy allows the instructor "to remove a student from a class for one class meeting, and, in those cases where the continued presence of the student poses a substantial threat or would be disruptive to the class, request that the Associate Dean of Student Services impose an interim suspension pending a disciplinary hearing."

Suffolk County Community College provides students with the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge by submitting coursework that is uniquely theirs and giving proper attribution to the work of others. Participating honestly in the SCCC academic community ensures that students can take pride in their education and their contributions to scholarship. Without academic integrity, students gain unfair advantage over others and prevent their own intellectual progress. As a student in this class, you are expected to uphold the SCCC core value of integrity and understand the Special Procedures for Academic Dishonesty (section P. starting on page 23 of the Student Code of Conduct). Specifically, when academic integrity is violated, the college policy allows the instructor to "initiate student conduct action through the Campus Associate Dean of Student Services. The faculty member may impose any of the following penalties: require that the student repeat the assignment or the exam; give the student a failing grade for the assignment or exam; or give the student a failing grade for the course. Should the student believe that s/he has been wrongly or unfairly accused of academic dishonesty, the student shall have the right to pursue the matter though the Course Grade Grievance Procedure."

The Code prohibits academic misconduct, which includes any action that results in students giving or receiving unauthorized assistance in an academic exercise, or receiving credit for work that is not their own. Academic exercise includes all forms of work submitted for credit. Academic misconduct includes, but is not limited to, the following behaviors:

• cheating - unauthorized use of textbooks, notes, mobile devices, artificial intelligence tools or other sources during an academic exercise;
• plagiarizing - using another person's work or ideas without crediting them, including using material generated by artificial intelligence tools for an assignment without instructor authorization;
• complicity - helping a student, or being helped, to engage in academic misconduct;
• multiple submissions - submitting the same work for credit in more than one course without the instructor's permission;
• falsification and forgery - inventing information or falsifying the identity of a student.

Information about the Student Code of Conduct, plagiarism and the citation process can be found on the Academic Integrity Procedures webpage. To learn more about academic integrity, college policies and expectations in this area, and proper ways to avoid possible violations, see the Academic Integrity and Plagiarism Guide.

Suffolk County Community College provides reasonable accommodations to registered students with disabilities who have self-identified and been approved by the Office of Disability Services.

Students must present this letter to each of their professors before accommodations can be provided.

Students who have, or think they may have, a disability are invited to contact Office of Disability Services for a confidential consultation.
