M Y S TAT L AB :
You will be doing homework problems, quizzes, and tests on MyStatLab. http://pearsonmylabandmastering.com. which is an interactive web site where you will work on math problems and receive
step-by-step help to solve problems. this on-line program provides
resources to aid the student learning with videos, multiple examples,
and tutorial services. There is more information in D2L in the content
section on MyStatLab, how to login, and getting started. MyStatLab
is tied to the problems in your textbook.

Your homework problems will be completed on MyStatLab. The homework problems will be similar to problems from your textbook. Each
week you will get new homework assignments that will be due by the
end of the week on Saturday. These problems can be worked on until
you get them correct with no time limit. Please pay attention to the
due dates for the homework assignments.

Q UIZZES :
There will also be assigned quizzes at the end of each chapter on
MyStatLab. You will get 90 min to take a quiz and can only take it
one time. For your quizzes you can use all your notes, textbook, and
calculator. Please pay attention to the due dates for the quizzes.
T ESTS :
There will be two proctored tests given through MyStatLab. You are
responsible for identifying a test proctor, and you must do this within
the first week of class.
Use the Proctor Approval Form provided in the content section of
D2L. This form will need to be filled out and submitted to the instructor, who will then provide the proctor with the passwords for the
tests. The completed form can be submitted by emailing (scan the
form and attach it at [email protected]), faxing at 920-424-1812 to
Dr. Ju Youn Bae, or using the postal service (send to Dr. Ju Youn
Bae, Department of Mathematics, University of Wisconsin Oshkosh,
Oshkosh, WI 54901).
If students decide to take the tests in the UWO testing center, students can simply email to the instructor stating that the test will be
taken at UWO Testing Center. In this case, students are no need to
fill out the Proctor Approval Form. The instructor will send the passwords for the tests to UWO Testing center and will reserve the spots
for the students who are planning to take it at the testing center.
There will be no make-up tests given except under special circumstances and prior notice. The tests are multiple-choice and you will
have two hours for each test. Tests will due by 11:59 p.m. on the
due date. Department policy allows the use of TI 83, 83 Plus, 84 or
84 Plus calculators during the tests. The TI-89, TI-92, cell phones, or
other electronic devices will NOT be permitted on tests.

Integrity is one of the Core Values of UW Oshkosh. All students share
I NTEGRITY
with the faculty the responsibility for academic honesty and integrity.
P OLICY :
The University expects its students to do their own academic work. In
addition, it expects active participation and equitable contributions of
students involved in group assignments. The following acts of academic dishonesty are not acceptable:
1. Cheating: using or attempting to use unauthorized materials,
information, or study aids in any academic exercise (e.g. an
exam).
2. Facilitating Academic Dishonesty: helping or attempting to help
another to commit academic dishonesty (e.g. allowing another
to copy from your test or use your work).
3. Plagiarism: representing the words or ideas of another as ones
own in any academic exercise (e.g. failing to cite references appropriately or taking verbatim from another source), whether it
is done with the intention of being dishonest or not.
4. Fabrication: unauthorized falsification or invention of any information or citation in an academic exercise (e.g. a paper reference).
Cheating on an exam, plagiarizing or any other form of academic dishonesty will be dealt with in accordance with the current UWO Student Discipline Code. The instructor reserves the right to assign a
grade of F for the course should circumstances warrant.
