MATH 1834 Calculus for Business and Social Science Syllabus 010 Spring 2026

Course Policies
Attendance: Attendance is mandatory and recorded daily. To be successful in this course, a student must attend class every day. You are responsible for work missed due to absence. You must contact your instructor before class starts to be marked as excused. If you come in after class has started, you may be marked absent. Leaving class early will also be noted. Attendance will count as a small portion of your grade, combined with sporadic in-class activities. Note: Math can be taught in the classroom, but can only be learned through practice, critical thinking, and more practice. Please ask questions to help further your understanding, either in class or during office hours. Cell Phones and Other Distractions: Please refrain from using cell phones for calls, texting, etc while in class. If it is an emergency, please leave the classroom to answer a call or text. Using cell phones or other electronic devices on or during the taking of tests/quizzes will be considered cheating and will be subject to the guidelines below. Cheating/Plagiarizing: Students found cheating on any assessment will receive a grade of zero on that assessment after the first occurrence and an F for the entire course after the second occurrence. Calculator Usage: Graphing calculators will be required throughout this course, except for specific items chosen by your instructor. You cannot share calculators during quizzes or exams. More specific instructions about allowed calculators will be given in class. Cell phones are not permitted for calculator usage. Use of cell phone calculators or other calculators without permission is considered cheating and will result in a zero on any assignment or exam on which they are used. Late Work: Math courses build on previous topics, so you must complete homework in a timely manner to be successful in the course. Late homework will be accepted with a penalty each day it is late for up to 7 days after the due date. After 7 days from the due date, late work will no longer be accepted. Extensions to this policy are at the instructor's discretion. Accommodations: Students must have an official letter from the Office of Disability Services for any accommodations. If students have this letter, please send itto the instructor immediately. Accommodations can only be in effect if given to the instructor at least 24 hours before an assessment. Accommodations cannot be applied after a student has completed an assessment.
