1. ABOUT THIS WEB-REMOTE COURSE

You have elected to take Math 124E in a "Web-remote" environment. In this course you must attend LIVE instructions via Zoom at the same time two times a week. Zoom is free-of-charge. See paragraph #7 for more information on Zoom.

Class Meeting Days: Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 AM - 12:20 PM **

** No class meetings on Module Review and Module Exam days! This allows students to take their module reviews and module exams during class time IF THEY WISH TO DO SO. See paragraph #3, "Tentative Course Schedule."

Location: Zoom Classroom

The Zoom Meeting ID is 89509679592 and the Password is math1.

However, some lectures are video recorded, and you must watch them and then do some practice problems. This is due to the downright overwhelming number of concepts that are supposed to be covered in this course. The video recorded lectures allow you to take a "breather" after a hard live lecture. But fear not, the video recorded concepts will be discussed at the beginning of the next live Zoom classroom session!

Please understand that a Web-remote course is NOT an online course. Some of you may wonder if you must attend the LIVE instructions. This is a resounding YES. The Math Department feels that the Extended Courses, such as Math 124E, either require on-campus attendance or remote attendance.  They are not to be treated as an online course.  Not showing up to the lectures most likely will hurt your course grade.  Many students have tried this and then failed because they basically had to teach themselves.

NOTE: If you signed up for this course, but you actually work during the LIVE instructions, it is strongly suggested that you drop this course and find an evening course that fits your work schedule.  There is even a Saturday course.

In this Web-Remote course you are not allowed to do whatever you want.

Successful web-remote courses have structure and purpose. You must adhere to deadlines and due dates just like in an on-campus course. 

See paragraph #3 "Tentative Course Schedule."

In this Web-remote course you must have the appropriate technology and be tech-savvy.

Technical difficulties cannot be used as an excuse for failure to complete assignments. It is your responsibility to locate the computer hardware, software, and internet connections necessary to stay connected and current with your course work and course requirements

In this Web-Remote course you must take three (3) proctored Module Exams and and a proctored Final Exam with the online proctoring service called ProctorU or at one of the CSN Testing Centers.

In this Web-remote course you must exhibit appropriate behaviors in person and in writing.

Strive for a personable tone! Do not make offensive or disparaging remarks. Please familiarize yourself with the CSN Disruptive and Abusive Student Policy and the Student Conduct Code.

2. IMPORTANT SEMESTER DATES

For important semester dates such as "last day to register", "last day to drop the course", breaks and holidays, etc. go to CSN Calendar/Schedule/Catalog.

3. TENTATIVE COURSE SCHEDULE

The Course Schedule allows you to quickly check the availability of tasks and their due dates. It is also a guide of how to proceed through the course for optimum success. Make a hard copy and keep it next to your workspace.

NOTE: The instructor reserves the right to modify the course schedule at any time with written, electronic, or verbal notification. It is the students' responsibility to be aware of the changes made. Please understand that all times in the Course Schedule are considered Pacific Standard Time.

10. HELP OPTIONS

11. ATTENDANCE - VERY IMPORTANT

There is a new CSN Course Registration and Withdrawal Policy as follows:

You must prove that you are a legitimate student in the course. In my course, this proof consists of the following:

Complete the Autobiography Task, the Syllabus Review, and the ProctorU Practice Exam in MyOpenMath during the first week of the semester.

If you do not comply with these requirements, the instructor MUST report you to the CSN Registrar who may administratively withdraw you from the course.

Aside from the above requirement, you MUST attend the Zoom classroom at the regular scheduled time. You MUST also access MyOpenMath "Messages" and the MyOpenMath Forums daily to read new posts and messages. You are responsible for any grade ramifications if you do not attend the course as described.

12. DUE DATES

ALL graded tasks (practice sets, module reviews, module exams) have a due date/time (Nevada time zone).  It is expected that you complete ALL tasks by then. The instructor is giving “Late Passes” for the practice sets. You cannot get additional extensions.
Please be aware, that if you use the Late Passes, it is still your responsibility to be mindful of the day they expire. Please check the Course Schedule.

13. POLICY ON MAKING UP TASKS

NO graded tasks will be accepted AFTER the due dates stated in the Tentative Course Schedule! After the due date, you will be given a grade of 0% for ALL non-submitted graded tasks. No make-up is possible.

Why? It is all about "fairness"! Students who are allowed to make up graded tasks have a longer study time, can potentially get a "peek" at a friend's graded task, and may experience less stress especially during finals week when multiple exams are often due on the same day.

14. POLICY ON RETAKING TASKS

NO retakes of practice tasks, module reviews, and module quizzes will be allowed after their availability period. The Midterm and Final Exams may not be retaken.

15. POLICY ON EXTRA CREDIT

NO extra credit tasks will be made available.

16. POLICY ON DROPPING GRADES

NO grades will be dropped.

17. GRADING POLICY

You can find the Course Gradebook in MyOpenMath!

a. Grading Scale

Following is the grading scale used by the instructor for ALL graded tasks and for the course grade in Math 124E:

100 - 93 A       92 - 90 A-    

  89 - 83 B       82 - 80 B-    

  79 - 73 C       72 - 70 C-     

  69 - 63 D       62 - 60 D-    

  59 -   0 F

     b. Course Grade Calculation in Math 24

In Math 24, a Pass/Fail course grade must be given. If you earn an "F" grade in Math 124E, you will get a "Fail" grade in Math 24 otherwise you will get a "Pass" grade.

     c. Course Grade Calculation in Math 124E

It is expected that you know how to calculate your course grade at any given time during the semester. The following formula will be used:

0.15 * (Final Exam Grade) + 0.15 * (Avg of ALL Module Reviews) + 0.40 * (Avg of ALL Module Exams) + 0.30 * (Avg of ALL Practice Tasks)

Avg means Average. This is the points you earned divided by all points possible.

NOTE: Please understand that your course grade is calculated using the point system and not the percent system. I will round up to a whole number if the decimal is 5 or higher.

18. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY POLICY

You are expected to complete your own work in this class. Cheating on graded tasks is not fair to students who are honestly studying. Cheating is also subject to penalties, which can include getting a 0 for the exam or failing the course. The full list of possible penalties is listed in the CSN Student Academic Integrity Policy. You must familiarize yourself with this policy.

A Word about Artificial Intelligence (AI): Any use of generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT) is strictly prohibited for all assignments, exams, and projects in this course. All work must be completed independently, without AI assistance at any stage, from initial planning to final submission. Suspected use of generative AI will be investigated as a violation of CSN’s Academic Integrity policy under the definition of 'cheating,' specifically ‘receiving aid not permitted by the instructor.’ Potential consequences may include a warning, grade reduction, course failure, or academic probation, depending on the severity of the violation.

Practice Problem Sets and Module Reviews: If it can be proven that someone else completed a practice problem set or a module review for you, you will get a 0. While tutors may explain math concepts to you, they are NOT allowed to work individual problems for you.

Module Exams and Final Exam: If it can be proven that someone else completed a Module Exam or the Final Exam for you, you will get a 0. Additionally, if it can be proven that you used outside resources on these exams (textbook, instructor notes, your notes, Web sites, Artificial Intelligence, etc.), you will also get a 0!

19. DISABILITY RESOURCE CENTER

The College of Southern Nevada is committed to making physical facilities and instructional programs accessible to students with disabilities as per the Americans with Disability Act. See https://www.ada.gov. If you have a disability that may have some impact on your work in this class and for which you may require accommodations, please visit the Disability Resource Center (DRC) so that such accommodations can be considered. All discussions will remain confidential. The DRC has offices on all three campuses. These serve as the focal point for coordination of services for students with disabilities.

20. STUDENTS' RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

When you choose to become a student at CSN, you accept the rights and responsibilities of membership in CSN’s academic and social community. For detailed information, access the link Students Rights and Responsibilities.

21. STUDENT CONDUCT

Treat your fellow classmates with courtesy and respect. All communications with the instructor, in person, via email, or otherwise, should be professional and respectful in nature. If you find the instructor's or a fellow classmate's words, actions, or demeanor to be frightening or offensive, please do not hesitate to discuss this with the instructor.

Please familiarize yourself with the CSN Disruptive and Abusive Student Policy and the Student Conduct Code.

22. LIBRARY SUPPORT

The CSN Libraries provide support for students completing assignments that require research and the use of information. Librarians are available to students for one-on-one assistance locating and citing quality information either online or at one of their campus locations.

23. PREGNANCY AND ITS RELATED CONDITIONS

CSN prohibits discrimination based on sex in education programs and activities. This extends to pregnancy and the following related condition: pregnancy-related health issues, childbirth, lactation, false pregnancy, termination of pregnancy, recovery from pregnancy, and parental and family status issues related to pregnancy.

If you are pregnant or deal with pregnancy-related conditions as described above, and you are in need of accommodations, you must contact Dr. Armen Asherian, Title IX Coordinator, at titleixcoordinator@csn.edu or 702-651-7481, or the Disability Resource Center at 702-651-5644 for West Charleston, 702-651-3795 for Henderson, and 702-651-4045 for North Las Vegas to explore reasonable accommodation.

24. SEX-BASED HARASSMENT AND DISCRIMINATION

CSN is committed to creating a safe and open learning environment for all students. In accordance with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, CSN prohibits unlawful sex-based harassment against any participant in its education programs or activities. Sexual-based harassment includes quid pro quo (this for that) harassment, a hostile environment, and criminal sexual violence (including sexual assault, dating/domestic violence, and stalking.) This prohibition applies to CSN students, employees, and visitors. Incidents of sex-based harassment or discrimination should be reported to CSN’s Title IX Coordinator, Dr. Armen Asherian, at titleixcoordinator@csn.edu, or 702-651-7481 or University Police Department at 702-895-3669 to report a crime.

25. INSTRUCTOR TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

Given that you are pursuing post-graduate education (college, university), your instructor subscribes to the adult learning theory called "self-directed learning." It stresses that learners must exercise control over their learning decisions. Instructors may act as supporting guides, but all learners are responsible for their cognitive development as well as take ownership of their actions, a lesson that extends far beyond the classroom walls.

For example, some of the top job skills that will help individuals succeed in any industry include the ability to focus on one task without neglecting other duties, be self-motivated, and holding themselves accountable for their actions without needing oversight from a manager.

26. CONFLICT RESOLUTTION

If you have concerns with course scheduling, course materials, grading, etc., please contact the instructor first before you talk to the department chair or the dean.

27. ACADEMIC ADVISING

Academic Advisors help students assess academic strengths and limitations, learn academic success strategies, explore careers, declare a major, navigate the educational system, access campus and community resources, and connect to campus life. Contact Information: Charleston Campus: Building D, Student Services Area: 702-651-5670, North Las Vegas Campus: Student Services Area: 702-651-4049, Henderson Campus: Building B, Room 120: 702-651-3165.
