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 MATH 1324 Teaching Mathematics in Elementary and Middle School I may be found in the online Catalog and also in the print edition of the Brookhaven College 2004-2006 Catalog on page 231. Page 163 of the print catalog also has a graphic showing how to read the course description information.
The room assignment for the course may be found in the Credit Course Schedule and also is printed on the paid fee receipt.
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.”
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.

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.
