F = other, including academic dishonesty. Lake Tahoe Community
College defines academic dishonesty as:
1.
Cheating on
examinations, quizzes, or other forms of classroom assessment.
Cheating includes copying off of another student’s work in class or
verbally getting answers or assistance from another student in class.
2.
Having another
person complete work for a class and submitting that as one’s own.
3.
Using data
storage or transmission devices, including cell phones, audio devices (iPods),
blackberrys, PDAs, cheat sheets to cheat or complete work in the class.
4.
Any other act
that constitutes cheating or dishonesty in the classroom. Working with others on
homework does not constitute cheating and is actually recommended.
Each online homework task has a possible correct response.
Calculators are allowed on homework but not exams. Potentially helpful
advice:
?
Complete homework
in a timely manner. Waiting until
Sunday after dinner to start the week’s homework is not part of a recipe for
success. Complete as much of your
homework as you can as early as possible.
?
Prepare specific
questions which you have regarding homework or concepts in general, and ask
those questions in class or during office hours.
?
Attend every
minute of class. There is one
ten-minute rest break per class.
?
Please turn your
cell phone off during class.
?
Utilize tabs in
MyMathLab, which include Help Me Solve This; View an Example;
Textbook; Video; and Animation.
?
Take the
initiative to seek assistance when you need it, including but not limited to:
Form productive study groups.
Seek help at Math Success Center, Room A201.
Meet with your instructor during office hours.
