STUDENT HOURS (OFFICE HOURS)

Each week instructors have time set aside to meet with students outside of class. (Traditionally these times are called “office hours”.) This is a time when a student may ask questions regarding the class, or discuss a particular problem/topic with an instructor one-on-one.  Student hours may be held in-person or online.  See below for instructions on where/when/how instructors will offer student hours in this class.

Office hours for students:

• Online/Virtual Office Hours - via Email/Canvas/WebEx:     

• Monday - Thursday 10:00am-12:00pm       
• Or by appointment only

<< For online office hours, students can schedule an appointment by selecting the Cisco Webex Link in our Canvas course and navigating to the “Office Hours” tab at the top.  The times that the instructor is available will be displayed there and a student may schedule a meeting by choosing a time and selecting “Confirm Meeting” at the bottom of the page. Please make appointments at least a day in advance.>>

MATH TUTORING LAB

Students who need help with any math class can visit the NCTC Mathematics Lab to receive assistance.  There are math tutors available on most campuses and online.  This service is free for all students enrolled in an NCTC math class. For on-campus tutoring, no appointment is needed.  For online tutoring, go to UpSwing tutoring in OneLogin to make an appointment. Tutor schedules and more information: www.nctc.edu/math-lab.

COURSE POLICIES

Academic Integrity Policy:  Scholastic dishonesty shall include, but is not limited to cheating, plagiarism, academic falsification, intellectual property dishonesty, academic dishonesty facilitation, and collusion.  The use of online math solvers with submitted work is considered academic dishonesty.  Faculty members may document and bring charges against a student who is engaged in or is suspected to be engaged in academic dishonesty. See Student Handbook, “Student Rights & Responsibilities: Student Code of Conduct” for more details.  

Consequences for academic dishonesty may include:

1. Zero on the assignment
2. Failing grade for the course

Students may be required to meet with the instructor to explain their work and demonstrate their problem-solving methods, either in person or via Webex. If a student is unable or unwilling to schedule a meeting during regular business hours within one week of the request, a grade of zero may be assigned for the submission in question.

Canvas Access: All students must have complete access to Canvas and other online course materials for the entire semester. It is the student’s responsibility to have access to the internet, as well as all needed programs to complete both in-person and online courses.  Students are not to give any other person access to his/her Canvas or online course platforms. Students can be removed from the course immediately upon violating this rule.  Once a student his given another person access to his/her Canvas account, the credibility of any work completed becomes questionable.

Attendance Policy: 

Regular attendance is expected and necessary for student success in this course. For more information on attendance regulations please see the NCTC Catalog. (Attendance Regulations – NCTC Catalog)

• Attendance for this course is taken by your participation and completion of your MyMathLab assignments that are due each week.
