1Practice Assignments are designed for you to practice taking tests and exams. They’re like quizzes except they are timed and must be retaken in their entirety (No quick retakes). 2All workpaper must be ordered, questions clearly labeled, all work shown for every problem, and calculator steps outlined. 3Up to a week after the exam, student must explain why credit is requested for each individual question. Workpaper and Honorlock® recordings may be referenced. 4Workpaper will be automatically reviewed. Honorlock® recordings must be referenced to be considered.

Everyone in Remote and Online Classes: You are required to complete a homework or quiz assignment on Connect® and log at least two hours of time before February 6th, or you will be withdrawn as never attending. It doesn't matter what grade you get. Also, you will be required to purchase Connect® by the third week of classes. If you don't purchase it by the end of the fourth week of classes, you will be withdrawn. The last day to withdraw is March 27th. All assignments from the first part of the course are due then so you will know where you stand. If at that time you are not passing and have not logged twenty hours of Connect® time, you may be withdrawn. If you are mistakenly withdrawn, you have only a few days to notify me so I can correct it. Once you are withdrawn, you cannot receive credit for the course.
