Time required and outside help: To do homework and study requires two or three times as much time outside of class as the time you spend in class in order to succeed in this course. If you need regular out-of-class help, lab classes (see the course schedule) or group tutoring sessions organized by the Learning Labs are available at most campuses. Free tutoring is also available at any of the ACC's Learning Labs.

Testing, Grading, and Homework: Your instructor will give you an additional handout which will include a testing schedule, and details about grading, testing, and homework.

Attendance is required in this course. Students who miss more than 4 classes may be withdrawn. After the withdrawal date each semester, neither the student nor the instructor may initiate a withdrawal. It is the student's responsibility to initiate all withdrawals in this course. The instructor may withdraw students for excessive absences (4) or failure to meet course objectives but makes no commitment to do this for the student.

Incomplete grades (I) will be given only in very rare circumstances. Generally, to receive a grade of I, a student must have taken all examinations, be passing, and have a personal tragedy occur after the last date to withdraw which prevents course completion.
