IAI Code:
This course carries and IAI designation code of: M1900-1

Required Materials
In order to participate in this class, you must have the following: A computer or laptop with internet access, an access code to
MyMathLab (MML), a calculator, and a functioning email address that you check on a regular basis. Details on each of these
are included in this syllabus.

Computer/Laptop
You must have access to a working laptop or desktop computer with internet reliable internet access. You will be doing most
of your work online through MML. If you want to take your exams online, then you will also need to have a computer with a
working webcam in order to use the online proctoring program used for exams. If you do not have a working webcam, you
can still do the homework and quizzes in MML, but your exams must be taken on campus in Triton’s Testing Center.
Triton’s library does have loanable technology on a first-come, first-served basis.

Access Code
This class uses MyMathLab (MML). MML requires that you have an access code to set up your account and access the class
website I have set up. You do not need to go and purchase an access code - the college has partnered with the publisher,
Pearson, to use Inclusive Access. This means you have already paid for an access code when you paid for the class. The
MML course will have a fully online version of the textbook, so you do not have to purchase a hardcover textbook. All the
assigned homework is online in MML. Your access code will be waiting for you in Blackboard (that is Triton's student
system) and you will get instructions from me when that access code is in blackboard.

Textbook
George B. Thomas Jr., Joel Hass, Christopher Heil, Przemyslaw Bogacki, Maurice D. Weir. Thomas’ Calculus. 15th edition.
Boston: Pearson, 2023.
We do NOT use the hardcover textbook for this class. You have full access to the online version of the textbook on the class
website in MML that comes with your access code.

Calculator
It is highly recommended that you have a TI-83, TI-83 Plus or TI-84 Plus graphing calculator. Cell phones are not allowed
for any exams, so that means you need an actual calculator – no cell phone calculator apps may be used, including any that
does problem solving for you. Any use of cell phones or cell phone apps on exams is a violation of the Academic Honesty
Policy and could lead to termination from the class and other disciplinary action from the college.

Email

It is critical that you check your email in this class on a daily basis. I send out a LOT of emails as that is the primary way, I
will communicate information to the class. When you register on the MML website, you are required to provide an email
address. That will be the email that all of my communications go to for the semester, so make sure that is an email you will
 be checking on a regular basis. If you fail to read my emails, it could lead to you missing something important, and you risk a
negative impact on your grade if you miss critical information from me. You must check your email on a regular basis in
order to stay engaged in this class. An elevated level of engagement is needed for success in any online class.

*Grade of incomplete is given only if student has completed all work in the course but cannot take the final exam due to
extreme circumstances beyond their control. Incomplete grades require documentation to be presented, and must be approved
by instructor, department chair and academic dean.
** Grade of ‘W’ will not be given as a final grade. Any student wishing to withdraw must withdraw yourself via your student
portal by the withdrawal deadline date, which is November 13th, 2024. After this date, anyone still in the course will be
assigned a letter grade of A through F; ‘W’ is NOT given as a final grade. If you have questions about how to drop a class using
your student portal, please contact student advising (the link to their webpage with contact information is near the end of the
syllabus)

Also, please note that grades of ‘R’ are NOT given in credit level courses (100 and above).

Gradebook

All grades will be posted in your MyMathLab grade book. Therefore, you have access to your current grade 24 hours a day,
seven days a week. I expect that you will check your current grade every time you log into the MML website, so you should
be getting a current snapshot of your grade multiple times a week. You can also go back to your gradebook to review any of
your completed homework and quizzes.

Extra Credit

There is no extra credit given in this course. The best way to succeed in this class is to do your required work from the very
first day of class through the end of the semester.
Getting Started Guide

I have put together a ‘Getting Started Guide’ document that contains a lot of essential information to help you get started
properly in this course. Whether you are new to online math classes or not, this is a must read document that I hope helps
everyone ease into the course. It contains tips, advice, processes, and procedures I use and more. This guide is posted under
the ‘Course Information’ section in MML. Please take the time to read it.

Homework

Homework problems are assigned from the textbook for each section covered (see the sections covered listed above). There is
also one orientation section of homework that is designed to give you a brief overview on how to enter your answers in
MyMathLab. The homework problems will be the basis for all quizzes and tests. Therefore, it is in your best interest to
complete all homework problems by the assigned deadline. The homework problems are to be completed directly online.
You can find the homework assignments by clicking on the ‘Homework’ button and linking to the chapter you want to work
on from there. The homework problems are very interactive: they contain help, some video, references to the textbook (in
Adobe Acrobat format) and you can even check your answers online while working on the problems. There is also a
complete set of video lectures for each chapter, with videos ranging from short examples to full chapter lecture videos. These
can be accessed through the Multimedia library in MML. Please make sure you take advantage of all these resources while
working on the problems. There are deadlines for each chapter’s homework, so make sure you follow these deadlines. You
can even stop and come back later to finish the homework online (your work will be saved) as long as you complete it by the
deadline. You can redo problems as many times as you need (you have an unlimited number of attempts on each problem) in
order to get 100% on your homework as long as you do so by the stated deadline for each chapter. Each section of homework
is worth 5 points. There are 39 total assigned sections in the course, so the total homework points are 195. Please note, all
homework must be completed by the stated deadlines in MML under the Homework section. Late homework is not accepted.

Syllabus Quiz

The Syllabus Quiz is a special quiz that is due the first week of the class. The purpose of this quiz is to test how well you
have read your syllabus. All the answers to the quiz are in this document. The syllabus is the most critical document in the
class, and you are responsible for reading and understanding everything contained here. If you do not understand or fail to
read the entire syllabus, you risk missing something critical and that could have a negative impact on your grade. Being able
to answer these questions will help you in getting a good start in the online class by knowing the policies, procedures,
expectations and so on from the very beginning of the online class. Everyone is allowed two attempts on this special quiz.
This quiz consists of 16 questions, and it is timed and subject to a deadline. This is worth 50 points, and it is the easiest 50
points of the class!

This quiz will be counted in everyone’s grade; it is NOT part of the Chapter quizzes and cannot be dropped at the end.

Chapter Quizzes

There will be six chapter quizzes in this class - one after each chapter. Quizzes will be taken online and will be subjected to a
time limit. All quizzes will have anywhere from 10-16 questions. Questions will be mixed between multiple choice and
short-answer and will be worth 30 points each (each question is weighted equally in value). The lowest quiz score will be
dropped at the end of the semester, so only the best five quiz scores will count toward the final grade (this applies only to the
chapter quizzes, not the syllabus quiz). Each chapter quiz can be found by going to the ‘Quizzes’ button and linking
to the appropriate chapter quiz. Since there is a time limit on each quiz, please make sure you are prepared before taking a
quiz. Have your materials and calculator ready. Once you enter a chapter quiz, the clock will start running and you must
complete the quiz once you start. If you exit the quiz before finishing, you cannot get back in! This is equivalent to walking
out of the classroom during a quiz, thus you will not be allowed to go back and complete it. You must click on ‘submit quiz’
in order for the results to be recorded. Even if you do not finish all the questions, you MUST submit it. If you do not submit
the quiz, it will be counted as a zero.

******2nd Attempt on Quizzes******

If you complete the Chapter homework with a minimum score of 70% on ALL sections, then you will automatically be
allowed TWO attempts on the quiz for the chapter! You do not have to take two attempts, but if you do poorly on the
first attempt, you will have the chance to re-do it for a better grade. If you take both attempts, your grade book will show you
both results, however, only the highest score will be used in computing your overall grade. In a course like this, having a
second chance on a quiz can make a significant difference in your grade, so I highly recommend that you give yourself that
opportunity by getting at least 70% on all your homework sections. That means you must score 70% or higher on all
homework sections by the homework deadline. You are not allowed to go back after the homework deadline to get a higher
grade on the homework, so your time management is critical.

This also means that if there are eight sections of homework in a chapter and you get 100% on the first seven sections of the
homework, but do not complete the eighth section of homework, you will NOT be given two attempts on that
quiz, since you did not get a minimum of 70% on all the sections. A second attempt at a quiz must be earned through doing
the homework, so this makes doing the homework even more important. Please note, all quiz attempts must be completed by
the stated deadlines in MML under the Quizzes and Tests section. Late quizzes are not accepted.

Learning Reflections

At the midterm and at the end of the class, you will be asked to take a moment to reflect on your learning experience in the
course. This will take the form of completing an online survey writing which is intended to get you to think about your
learning experience throughout the course. These surveys are short and include both multiple choice responses as well as
some short answer questions for you to provide some more detailed feedback. The Learning Reflection links are located in
MML under the ‘Learning Reflections’ section. There are no right or wrong answers; these are individual opinions and
thoughts. I will be the only one who sees them. Completing the questions will result in you getting the full points. Not doing
this by the deadline will result in a ‘0’. If you leave questions unanswered, that will result in a reduction of points.
Completing each reflection survey will be worth 40 points, for a total of 80 points. (That is worth more than two chapter
quizzes! Do not ignore these, as it is part of your required work in the class).

Exams

There are two exams required for this course.

1. Mid Term exam worth 150 points. The Mid Term exam will cover chapter 2 and chapter 3 (chapter 1 is review, so the
exam will focus on new material learned in the first two chapters). The Midterm Exam deadline is Wednesday, October 9th

2. Cumulative Final exam worth 250 points. The final exam will cover ALL chapters except chapter 1; so that means
Chapters 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7. The Final Exam deadline is Tuesday, December 10th.
 There is a practice Midterm Exam, and a practice Final Exam posted in MML under the ‘Course Information’
section. There is also a set of review videos I have created that goes through the solutions to some of the problems on
the practice exams. Those videos are posted in MML under the ‘Exam Review Videos’ section.

Exam Proctoring

The state of Illinois now requires that all IAI (Illinois Articulation Initiative) courses have proctored exams. Calculus I
is an IAI course, so we must follow the state’s mandate. You will have two options to take your exams in the online course.
You can take them online or you may come to the Testing Center on Triton’s Campus. Triton’s Testing Center is a proctored
environment, but you may also choose to take your exams online. If you choose to do your exams online, however, you will
be required to utilize the online proctoring system we use at the college when you take your exams. This proctoring program
is called Honor Lock (details about the program are below). Most online students prefer to take their exams online, so they do
not have to come to campus. However, if you prefer to come to campus and take your exams in the Triton Testing Center,
that will be perfectly fine, but I ask that you notify me of this intention as soon as possible so I can prepare to have an exam
ready for you in the Testing Center.

There is a basic formula sheet you may use for the exams (it is listed in MML under the Course Information section). If you
take your exams online, you may print that out ahead of time to use. If you take your exams in the Testing Center, that
formula sheet will be attached to the exam for your use. Otherwise, you are to use no other notes on the exams. Cell phone
usage is prohibited during the exams, so you must have an actual calculator to use for your exams.

HonorLock Overview

Honorlock is an online test proctoring tool that you will use when taking the Midterm and Final Exams.
1. Operating System Requirements:
· Windows 10
· MacOSX 10.13 and higher
· ChromeOS 84 and higher
2. Honorlock exams must be taken on a desktop computer or laptop. (Honorlock does not work on tablets, iPads, or cell
phones.)
3. Students must use Google Chrome (with an Honorlock Chrome extension added) to take an Honorlock proctored
exam.
4. Student laptop or desktop computers must have a working webcam and microphone. If your computer does not meet
these requirements, you must make arrangements to take the exam in the testing center.
5. Students will need a photo ID (driver’s license, student ID, passport, etc.) to take an Honorlock proctored exam. The
program will take a picture of you and of your photo ID. Showing ID is also a requirement to take an exam in the Triton
Testing Center.
6. If Honorlock detects suspicious/dishonest activity during a proctored exam, you may receive a “0” on that test and be
subject to a disciplinary response from college officials per the Academic Honesty Policy (BOT Policy #5208).
(Suspicious activity includes, but is not limited to, talking to others in the room during the exam, your face not being
visible on camera at all times, having prohibited devices and/or materials on your desktop, accessing other websites,
using your phone, etc.).
7. If you would like more information regarding Honorlock, please visit https://honorlock.com/students/
8. If you would prefer not to use the online proctoring service you must take the exam in Triton’s Testing Center. Contact
Mr. Jablonski immediately to let me know if you will be taking your exams in the Testing Center. You will need to make
an appointment ahead of time with the testing center.

Written Work for Exams

Everyone is required to submit their hand-written work on both exams. The exam problems in this class require
extensive algebra work in order to demonstrate proficiency in the topics. If you take your exams online, you will be
required to submit your handwritten work on both exams via email. You must submit your written work to me within
30 minutes after the completion of each exam. If you submit a correct answer on your exam, but do not show any
supporting work, points will be deducted from your exam! You will not get full credit for problems if you do not
submit the written work.

If you take your exams in the Testing Center, then your written will be turned into the proctor when you complete
your exam. You may show your work on the exam itself, as well as on scratch paper. Turn in all written work with
your exam.

Use of cell phones, cell phone apps, Artificial Intelligence (see AI statement below), etc. that solve math problems are
prohibited. Any use of these is a violation of the Academic Honesty policy and will lead to a grade of ‘F’ on the
assignment, withdrawal from the course and potential disciplinary action from the college. In other words, your work
is to be your own.

PLEASE NOTE: Any student who does not take the midterm exam will be given a ‘0’ and may be advised to withdraw
from the course.

Watch the time!

All work that is subject to a deadline is based on the Central Time Zone. Please be aware of this during the semester.

MML Website

Academic Honesty

Triton College closely adheres to principles of academic honesty and integrity. The Academic Honesty Policy is designed to
inform students and faculty of the expectations and procedures associated with the honest pursuit of a Triton College
education. Overall, academic achievement is a product of personal commitment, the investigation of knowledge, and a
pursuit of independent and honest work, both in and out of the classroom. All forms of cheating deprive the student of
achieving true academic success and are therefore considered serious violations. Furthermore, all incidents of cheating will
result in a disciplinary response from college officials. The policy is outlined in the student handbook.

Everyone in this course will be held to the Triton College Academic Honesty policy covering cheating, plagiarism, etc. This
document is covered in detail in the College Board policy manual, section 5208. The link below is to the board policy and
you are all expected to read and be familiar with section 5208. Any violation of this policy will result in a ‘0’ for the activity,
potential ‘F’ in the course and possible further discipline from the college.

Board Policy Manual

Artificial Intelligence (AI):

Students are prohibited from utilizing any form of artificial intelligence (AI) or AI-related tools, including but not limited to
machine learning algorithms, automated solvers, text generators and AI-powered answer engines, during examinations,
assignments, or any other assessments in this course. This restriction is in place to ensure that all students develop and
demonstrate their own mathematical understanding and that the work submitted is the independent and original effort of the
student. Use of AI technologies may be considered a violation of the college Academic Honesty policy.

Math Zone

Triton College offers free math tutoring through the Math Zone. Currently there is no in-person tutoring on campus, but there
is live, online tutoring being done using Microsoft Teams. You can make free tutoring appointments for the Math Zone
through the Academic Success Center. The link below is for the Academic Success Center which has the information you
need in order to make a tutoring appointment as well contact information, tutor schedules, etc. Please note, that depending on
the situation with Covid-19, this could change and in person tutoring on campus may resume at some point.
