Text: Essential Mathematics for Business and Economic
Analysis Third Edition, custom publishing by Pearson
Prerequisites: Students of MAT 210 are expected to complete MAT 117 (College
Algebra) with a grade of A, B or C.
Placement Exam: Students must take the Unified Mathematics
Placement Test outside of class on the Internet prior to enrolling in this
course. The URL is http://math.asu.edu/fym/placement.html.
This exam emphasizes required algebraic skills and assesses the student's
general level of current mathematical ability.
Graphing Calculator: A graphing calculator is required for this course.
Highly recommended models include the TI-83/84 calculators and the Casio
9750G or 9850GB Plus calculators.
* If you
already have a graphing calculator, you may use it.
* NOT permitted: calculators with QWERTY keyboards or those that do symbolic algebra, such as the Casio FX2, Casio 9970Gs, TI-89, or TI-92

Final Exam: The final exam will be given in your regular classroom
at the time prescribed by the standard university final exam schedule -- see http://www.asu.edu/registrar/registration/finals.html
* Time and
date of my MAT 210 final:
* Makeup
finals will NOT be given for conflicts with travel and/or other events. PLAN
ACCORDINGLY.
Midterm Exams: You will take three exams during the semester. Each
will involve a mix of mechanical skills and conceptual reasoning. The best
possible preparation for them is regular attendance and completion of assigned
homework.
* These exams are taken outside of class time in the Mathematics Department Testing Center, in PSA 21 (basement).
* To be admitted to the
* The testing center is open
* Students should complete exams as early as possible during the allotted time frame, since the center can get extremely busy in the afternoons.
* Your calculator memory may be viewed during any exam and will be cleared if anything suspicious is noted. The instructor has the right to regard finding suspicious material in your calculator memory as cheating.

Makeup
exams: Makeup exams are given at the
discretion of the instructor and only in the case of verified medical or other documented
emergencies. Notify your instructor before the test is given if
possible. Call your instructor or the Math Department Office (480-965-3951) and
leave a message or directly notify your instructor by email ASAP. If the event
is not an emergency, you must notify the instructor in advance to request a
makeup.

* Students are expected to read relevant sections of the textbook prior
to attending class.
* Homework, quizzes, and projects will be graded. Students may work together on homework, but each
individual student is required to submit their own work.
* Quizzes and projects are given at the discretion of the instructor and frequently reflect material that has
recently been discussed in class. To encourage attendance, instructors will not give makeup quizzes or projects.
* Using WeBWorK at the discretion of the instructor.
Students Resources:
Tutor Center: The Math Tutor Center (free of charge) in PSA 116 will be open M-Th 8:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m., Fri. 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m., and
Sat. & Sun. noon - 4:00 p.m. Come in for help before it is too late,
and several days before an exam day to strengthen your preparation. In

Departmental
Drop Back: Based on results of the
pretest and advising from the course instructor, a student may elect to drop
back to a lower level math course before the drop back deadline. Students
should go to the Undergraduate Mathematics Office in PSA 211 to initiate a drop
back request.
Course Withdrawal: A student may withdraw from a course with a grade of
W during the withdrawal period. The instructors signature is not required.
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 will 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 be aware of their registration status.
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.
The student must provide written documentation and be passing the class
at the time to receive an Incomplete. Make-up final 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
guidelines in the current general ASU catalog regarding a grade of incomplete
will be strictly followed. The Dean of the students college must approve
any exceptions to these rules.
Final Exam Make-up Policy: The final exam schedule listed in the Schedule of
Classes will be strictly followed. Exceptions to the schedule and requests for
make-up final 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 the day of the final exam,)
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.
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 University 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 of XE is reserved
for "failure for academic dishonesty." The XE grade may be petitioned
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 from the course if they think you are compromising the
ability to assess your work independently of any other consideration. Students
found to be involved in academic dishonesty will be removed from the class, and
a grade of XE 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 that such actions are
appropriate. We will act very harshly against cheating during Quizzes or Exams.
Absences:
For Fall and Spring semesters, This class meets two
days a week, the maximum number of allowed absences is four (4).
Students
who exceed the number of allowed absences will receive a grade of EN.
The instructor reserves the right to make changes to the syllabus for
the benefit of the class.
