Calculator Policy ● You may use any calculator you have or any online calculator application ● You should only use it for numerical computation – Some graphing calculators and online tools are capable of doing much much more, but it is important to learn the processes instead of relying on an online source 9 /
Academic Dishonesty ● Purdue has a zero-tolerance policy for academic dishonesty ● Obviously it’s much harder to enforce with online homework, quizzes, and exams ● Instructors will look into anything that appears suspicious 10 /
Late Work ● If you are unable to complete any assignment in the given time window let me know immediately! ● If you miss any assignment, you must contact me within 48 hours to be eligible for consideration of an extension – You might need documentation (like a doctor’s note) ● Just email me and we’ll figure it out 11 /
Quarantine/Isolation due to COVID-19 ● If you have to be isolated due to COVID-19 you will have access to a temporary academic advisor who will ensure you receive the course materials you need ● Send me an email as well so I can share some course materials with you ● You will still have access to videos and the other online materials 12 /

Extra Credit ● There will be 4 extra credit opportunities ● The first will be an exam readiness survey a week or so before exam 1 ● The other 3 will up to me – Probably a worksheet graded for completion – I’ll email you and post them on my website 14 /
Office Hours ● Office hours will be virtual this semester ● Depending on the schedule you will be able to Zoom/WebEx with a MA 16010 instructor – Might not be me necessarily ● You can still email me questions or we can find time to Zoom and I’d be happy to help! 15 /
