1. The Instructor will discuss the pages which will be allowed for your exams. They

come directly from your textbook. The pages must not have any writing, notes, marks on them or they will not be allowed for use in the exam. These pages will be helpful. Protect them and use them! Cell phones and programmable calculators are NOT allowed when taking exams.
2. MAKE-UP EXAMS will be limited to emergency situations. It is the students

responsibility to contact the instructor to arrange the make-up exam (the Instructional Testing Center is used for make-up exams and an appointment is necessary). Proof of emergency may be required. MAKE-UP EXAMS MUST BE TAKEN WITHIN THE TWO WEEKS FOLLOWING THE TEST DATE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE LAST EXAM. The last exam must be taken by the end of the semester. For any exam not taken, the student will be given a "0" for that test. 3. NO retake exams will be given.

4. Attendance and participation are expected. Attendance is an important factor for successfully completed this course. Please be ON TIME for class. Walking in late is a disruption for all other participants. Courtesy on this issue is required and appreciated. Thank you. 5. Office hours - to be discussed in class.

CLASSROOM ETIQUETTE/RULES/RESOURCES The first line of this document stresses the importance of teamwork. This class is a team whose goal is to master ACC 101. The following rules will help us accomplish that goal. Please be considerate of fellow students. Cell phones and other electronic devices must be turned down during class and not used during class lectures. If cell phones become an issue or distraction, a stricter policy will be imposed. Laptops used for class activities and E-book access are an exception. You are expected to bring appropriate supplies such as pencils, calculators, etc. for exams. I do not provide supplies. Please do not bring noisy calculators to exams. Please refrain from leaving the classroom until class is dismissed. A break will be given at approximately the mid-point of class. Please try to wait for the break to leave. You are expected to activate your student e-mail account. Correspondence with the class/individual will be through this e-mail account only.
