MATHEMATICS 1501 A Calculus I Summer Semester 2021 M,T,W,R,F 4:00PM-5:20PM In D2L COVID-19 Statement Creating a Healthy Environment At Gordon State College, we are committed to the health and safety of our students, faculty and staff. Since March 2020, our campus has been addressing the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) on a daily basis. The return to campus will be based on a new reality where adjustments will be made to every facet of the “on-campus” experience. This will truly be a “Power of WE!” moment, as the safety of the entire campus will depend on our institutional values. You will be expected to follow “The Healthy Highlander Way“ as you participate in classes that require class attendance. Posters describing the Healthy Highlander Way are displayed in each building on campus and can be found in the “Return to Campus Guide” linked to the GSC home page. If you have one of the symptoms of COVID-19, you should notify your professor, stay home, and contact your personal physician prior to returning to campus. Commuter students should also notify the Student Health Center at healthcenter@gordonstate.edu. In addition, residential students should contact their Community Assistant and schedule an appointment with the Student Health Center at 678-359-5456. One of the most effective ways to stop the spread of the virus is wearing a face covering. You must wear a face covering at all times when in public on any Gordon State College campus. Anyone not using a face covering when required will be asked to wear one or leave the area. Repeated refusal to comply with the requirement may result in discipline through the applicable code of conduct for students. If you are a student with one of the underlying medical conditions identified in the “Return to Campus Guide” and you would like to apply for accommodations due to being at a higher risk for severe illness with COVID-19, please contact Counseling & Accessibility Office at 678-359-5585 or email the Director of Counseling and Accessibility Services Alicia Dorton at aliciad@gordonstate.edu. Making a commitment to The Healthy Highlander Way will allow our campus to remain as safe as possible during this semester. Being prepared for Class during the Pandemic Although some courses will meet in a full face-to-face format, most classes for this term will meet online or in a hybrid format. In addition, all classes will shift online after Thanksgiving for the remainder of the term.

House Bill 280 For information regarding House Bill 280, see the University System of Georgia at the following link: http://www.usg.edu/hb280 Religious Holidays Gordon State College acknowledges that the academic calendar can sometimes conflict with major holidays from among our diverse religious traditions. If a student must miss class due to the observance of a religious holiday, that absence may be excused. To be excused, the student must inform his/her instructors before the absence and make alternate arrangements for any work due at the time of the absence. An excused absence for the observance of a religious holiday does not excuse student from responsibility for required course work.

You will have 4 individual online exams in WebAssign and you will have 2 attempts per exam. You will also have a comprehensive online Final Exam in WebAssign. However, you will only have one attempt for the FE. Students who do not take the final exam will get an automatic WF for the course. The student’s final grade will be computed as follows: HW 20% Exams: 55% Final Exam: 25% ----------------------------------------Total: 100% The following grading scale will be used. [90 – 100] [80 – 90) [70 – 80) A Plus B C FE ≥ 70 [60 – 70) Below 59.5 D F WF if withdrawn after Monday, June 28th 2021. FE: Friday July 23rd in WebAssign. FE will be made available in WebAssign at 12:01AM on 7/23/21 and is due by 11:59PM of 7/23/21. CLASS PROCEDURES Students who enroll late in the course are responsible for material covered before they enrolled. Attendance is not required, but is encouraged for questions and discussions. All lectures will be recorded in D2L. Working Problems: HW will be assigned electronically in Cengage WebAssign. Some if not most of the HW will be done in WebAssign during the lecture to better explain and illustrate the ideas. Remember Mathematics is not a spectators sport, and your HW is meant to be the training ground where you learn how to bridge the gap between your thoughts and the tips of your fingers. Group Work: I encourage students to work together on homework. Academic Honesty: Each student must do his or her own work on exams without any assistance from any outside source not specifically authorized by me. The student handbook details school policies on academic honesty. Classroom Etiquette: Students are expected to treat the instructor and other students with respect. Please refrain from the following during class time: 1. Talking with other students. 2. Leaving class early (other than an emergency). 3. Leaving the desk to sharpen a pencil in the middle of a lecture. 4. Consistently late coming to class. 5. Pagers beeping during class. 6. Placing or receiving cellular phone calls during class. 6 OFFICE PROCEDURES When you come to my office for help, please be prepared by doing the following: 1.
