Note: This is a sample syllabus. It is not the exact syllabus the instructor will distribute at the beginning of an academic term to the students enrolled in the course. This sample is to be used only as a general guide about the instruction that will be presented in the course.
The course description for DMAT 0090 Pre Algebra Mathematics may be found in the online Catalog and also in the print edition of the Brookhaven College 2004-2006 Catalog on page 188. Page 163 of the print catalog also has a graphic showing how to read the course description information.
DMAT 0090 is the prerequisite for DMAT 0097.
The room assignment for the course may be found in the Credit Course Schedule and also is printed on the paid fee receipt. For special help, students are encouraged to come to the Math Lab, Building K, Room K137. Lab hours are posted on the door of the Math Lab.
Students are expected to attend regularly all classes in which they are enrolled and to consult with the instructor when an absence occurs. If a student is unable to complete a course, it is the responsibility of the student to drop the course by the drop date listed in the academic calendar. Dropping a course is a formal procedure which the student must initiate; the instructor cannot do it. The Admissions Office processes adding and dropping of courses. The Admissions Office is located in the Student Services Center, Building S, Room S052.
Students who officially drop this course or withdraw from the college before the deadline will receive a “W” grade in this course. If a student stops attending class but does not officially drop the course through the Admissions Office, the student’s transcript will show a performance grade for the course, usually an “F.”
It is DCCCD policy that before any student can enroll for a DMAT or Math course, they must have successfully completed the prerequisite course or earned an appropriate score on the Accuplacer™ Math Assessment Test. Students who assess into any Developmental Math class must complete the remainder of the DMAT sequence with at least a grade of “C” in order to enroll into college-level Math courses.
Students who will be absent from class for the observance of a religious holiday must notify the instructor in advance. Please refer to the college catalog section Attending Classes.
Five tests and a comprehensive, departmental final examination will be given. The score earned on each of the five tests will count as 16 percent of the performance grade. The final examination score will count as 20 percent of the performance grade. When it is to the student’s advantage, the final examination score may replace the lowest of the five test scores.
The scale used to determine the final course grade is:
| 90 to 100 | = | A |
|---|---|---|
| 80 to 89 | = | B |
| 70 to 79 | = | C |
| 0 to 69 | = | F |
If an unforeseen emergency prevents a student from completing the work in a course, a grade of “Incomplete,” or “I,” will be given. The division dean must approve all “I” grades.
Instances of scholastic dishonesty will not be tolerated. The Code of Student Conduct prohibits scholastic dishonesty. Any student violating this policy shall be subject to disciplinary sanctions including suspension from Brookhaven College.
Calculators are not allowed in this course.
Cell phones are not appropriate in class.
