PVCC MATHEMATICS DIVISION EXPECTED
STUDENT BEHAVIOR FOR SUCCESS AND STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT
  • As a college student you need to discipline yourself as to your study habits and classroom behavior. Get to class at least a couple of minutes early. You are expected to at least be on time for each class and remain seated for the entire class. If you must leave early, it is considered only common courtesy to leave quietly and to have informed your instructor beforehand. Please leave iPads, iPods, tablets, laptop computers, cell phones and other electronic devices off. Inattentiveness, disruptiveness or extensive tardiness or absences may affect a student's grade.
  • If for some reason you decide to drop this course, you are advised to discuss it first with your instructor. If you are having difficulties, please see your instructor before giving up or dropping the class. A grade of W will be assigned if you drop before the withdraw date that is in your student center in my.maricopa.edu. After that date, you will be withdrawn from the class with a grade of W, for excessive absences, or by student request. Excessive absences will be the equivalent of missing 2 weeks of class without the instructor's knowledge. If you are still on the class roster at the end of the semester, you will be assigned a grade of A, B, C, D or F, based on your class average.
  • Undergraduate study is time consuming. You can anticipate spending two or more hours of study, reading and research for every hour you spend in the classroom. To earn three hours of academic credit, classes must meet for a minimum of forty-five (45) classroom hours. You should expect to spend an additional 6 hours per week outside of class for study, reading and research, for a total of (90) additional hours per semester. Take these demands seriously as you plan your academic schedule.
  • Have your homework completed before class starts. Please feel free to contact me whenever you run into difficulty, and make use of the LSC.
  • Have questions ready from the previous night's homework and be seated when class begins.
  • Continuously self-test.
  • Make it a goal to attend all classes and stay the entire class period. There is a high correlation between regular class attendance, punctuality, and good grades. Even though you are absent for any reason, you are still responsible for all homework and material covered in class. Get notes from another student for classes missed.
  • Ask questions – participate, don't wait for someone else to ask questions.
  • Be prepared as if you expect a quiz every day.
  • It is the student's responsibility to understand and follow all of the policies found in the Paradise Valley Community College Catalog and Student Handbook.
  • The student is responsible for all information contained in the syllabus.
  • Students are PROHIBITED from digitally recording classes without Dr. Nicoloff�s permission.
  • Your [email protected] e-mail account is the official form of communication between PVCC and you. You are responsible for reading college messages and responding accordingly.
  • Make note of Section 2.5.1, Section A, paragraph 4, pages 145 and 146 in the PVCC Student Handbook regarding the college’s policy on the misuse of computer technology.
  • Make note of the district and college policy on the student code of conduct located here: Maricopa County Community College District Student Code of Conduct.
  • Students with disabilities who believe that they need accommodations in this class are encouraged to contact Disability Resources and Services in the Gina Kranitz Student Center, Room 1207 or call 602–787–7171
ALL PROVISIONS IN THIS SYLLABUS ARE SUBJECT TO REVISION BY THE INSTRUCTOR. SUCH REVISIONS, IF ANY, WILL BE ANNOUNCED IN CLASS AND POSTED ON THE INSTRUCTOR'S WEBSITE AT THE FOLLOWING ADDRESS:
