Make-up Policies:  Note there is no make-up for any quiz unless you bring the formal document of the doctor. You should let me know in advance if you need to take the test in a different time. Generally, making up will not be allowed for mid-term and final exam; you need to contact with me regarding this issue.

 

Cheating:  Cheating will not be tolerated.  If you are caught cheating, you will receive a zero on the test, exam, quiz, or homework.

 

Disabilities Statement: If a student has a disability that qualifies under the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and requires accommodations, he/she should contact the Disability Resources (DR) office for information on appropriate policies and procedures. DR is located on the main floor of the Student Services Building, Room 1076; their phone is 515-294-6624.

 

Calculator Use: The use of a calculator during any particular quiz or test is at the discretion of the instructor and in fact, some assessments may involve two parts where the use of a calculator is needed on one section and the use of a calculator is prohibited on the other.

 

Tips for Success:

    • Attend class – it’s actually where much of your learning will take place
    • Stay current with the suggested homework – the list of homework problems assigned is merely a suggestion; some students will need to do more and some students can get by with doing less, or it may depend on the topic covered. Do enough problems until you are comfortable.
    • Form a study group – learning in groups can be a valuable experience and I encourage it, both in the classroom and outside of class. However, please be cognizant of when groupwork is appropriate during lectures.
    • Go over quizzes and tests after they are returned to you to correct your mistakes. No points are going to be awarded for that mistake, but the learning from your errors now means you will not make them again on future assessments.
