Placement Exam : All students will be required to take a
Placement exam outside of class on the Internet prior to Friday
August 30th , 2002. The URL ishttp://fym.la.asu.edu/placement.
This exam will emphasize required algebra skills and it
will assess the students general level of current mathematical
ability. The exam will count toward the students course
grade. Failure to take the exam will result in a drop of one
letter grade at the end of the semester.
Math Testing Center: The Mathematics Testing Center is in PSA 21
(basement).
In order to be admitted to the Testing Center each student must
have a valid ASU Sun Card and an official testin
center label. Labels are handed out by the instructor prior to
the exam.
Testing Center hours:
- Monday through Thursday: open 8:00a.m. Last Exam given out:
6:30p.m. Center closes: 8:00pm
Exams turned in 7:55pm.
- Friday: open 8:00a.m. Last Exam given out: 3:30p.m. Center
closes: 5:00pm Exams turned i4:55pm.
Make sure you arrive before 6:30 M-Th. (3:30 Fri.) since the
testing center employees are very prompt and
unbending.
Students should take exams as early as possible during the
allotted time frame, as the center can get extremel
busy. YOU WILL NOT BE ADMITTED IF YOU FORGET YOUR LABEL OR YOUR
SUNCARD!!!!!
Graphing Calculator: A graphing calculator is required for this
course.
The preferred model is the CASIO 9850GB Plus.
Calculators with QWERTY keyboards or those that do symbolic
algebra, such as Casio FX2 or 9970Gs cannotbused in class or during
the exams.
Graphing Calculator Workshops You may attend either of these
sessions:
September 3, 3 5 P.M. For CFX-9850GB Plus in Murdock Hall, Room
201

First Year Mathematics Courses: Fall Semester 2002
Departmental and University Policies and Procedures
Monday, September 16
Friday, September 20
Restricted withdrawal: Friday, November 1
Restricted complete withdrawal: Wednesday, December 4
Departmental Drop Back: Based on results of a readiness test and
advising from the course instructor, a student may elect tdrop back
to a lower level math course before the drop back deadline. The
student should go to the Undergraduate
Mathematics Office in PS A211 to initiate a drop back
request.
Unrestricted Withdrawal: A student may withdraw from a course
with a grade ofW during the unrestricted withdrawal
period. The instructor's signature is not required.
Restricted Withdrawal: In order to withdraw during this period,
the student must obtain the instructor's signature. A grade
ofW will be assigned only if the student is doing acceptable
work at the time of the request. Otherwise, the student will
receive an E.
The grade of Incomplete: A grade of incomplete will be awarded
only in the event that a documented emergency or illness
prevents the student who is doing acceptable work from
completing a small percentage of the course requirements.
Theguidelines in the current general ASU catalog regarding a grade
of incomplete will be strictly followed.
Instructor-Initiated Drop: At the instructor's discretion, any
student who has not attended class during the first week of
classes may be administratively dropped from the course.
However, students should be aware that non-attendance would
NOT automatically result in their being dropped from the course.
Thus, a student should not assume they are no longer
registered for a course simply because they did not attend class
during the first week. It is the student's responsibility to b
aware of their registration status.
Final Exam Make-up Policy: The final exam schedule listed in the
Schedule of Classes will be strictly followed. Exception
to the schedule and requests for make-up examinations can be
granted only by the Department Chair, Associate
Department Chair or the Director of First Year Mathematics, and
for one of the following reasons:
1. Religious conflict (e.g., the student celebrates the Sabbath
on Saturday)
2. The student has more than three exams scheduled on the same
day as the math final
3. There is a time conflict between the math final and another
final exam.
Incomplete: If there is a last-minute personal or medical
emergency, the student may receive a grade of Incomplete and
make up the final within one calendar year. The student must
provide written documentation and be passing the class at
the time to receive an Incomplete. Make-up exams will NOT be
given for reasons of a non-refundable airline tickets,vacation
plans, work schedules, weddings, family reunions, and other such
activities. Students should consult the final
exam schedule before making end-of-semester travel plans. The
Dean of the students college must approve any
exceptions to these rules.
Honor Policy: The highest standards of academic integrity are
expected of all students. The failure of any student to meet
these standards may result in suspension or expulsion from the
University or other sanctions as specified in the Universit
Student Academic Integrity Policy. Violations of academic
integrity include, but are not limited to, cheating,
fabrication,
tampering, plagiarism or facilitating such activities.
The grade of XE: A grade ofXE is reserved for "failure for
academic dishonesty." The grade goes on the student's
transcript; the student needs to petition to have it removed
after 1 year.
Ethics: It's highly unethical to bring to your instructor's
attention the possible impact of your mathematics grade on your
future plans, including graduation, scholarships, jobs, etc. The
instructor may exercise an option to withdraw you fromthe course if
they think you are compromising the ability to assess your work
independently of any other consideration.
-

5/5
Students found to be involved in academic dishonesty will be
removed from the class and a grade ofXE for the course
will be submitted to the registrar. The student will be advised
to repeat the course with another professor, possibly at
another institution. This is the least action taken. Further,
more serious actions may be taken if the situation indicated
tha
such actions are appropriate. We will act very harshly against
cheating during Quizzes or Exams.
