Tests
Taken in the
Take your tests whenever it is convenient for you
AND you are prepared (100% on all prerequisite homeworks & practice tests)
AND the assessment center is open.
Pay attention to the announcements at the opening of
the mathxl site for guidance that you are not behind
pace in the course.
You should watch at least one show & do all
the associated homework each week.
Do
not get behind! I have never & will never give a grade
of incomplete in this course.
Accommodations: Any student who
may need an accommodation due to a disability must provide a letter from
Disability Support Services authorizing your accommodation. Please do this as soon as possible.
WARNING: Procrastination is the #1 grade
killer in this course
Successful students are those who KEEP UP, WATCH EVERY SHOW, DO ALL
ASSIGNED HOMEWORK, AND ASK QUESTIONS.
Work to understand the material and take ownership of the knowledge.
Your efforts in MA091 will payoff - not just this semester, but also when you
advance to a college-level course next semester.
