NOTE: You may also access the PDF in our “MATH1010 TEXTBOOK” link in
Canvas.
OPTIONAL:
ISBN: 9781285741550
The course mark will be calculated as follows (see section 9 for details):
Maple Test:
This open-laptop test will take place online starting Thursday Nov 30 at 8am and you
have until Friday Dec 1 until 11:59pm; it will be an online test within Canvas, and will
test you on your ability to use Maple to help you solve problems. It will be based on
all the material we covered throughout the course, including assignments. You will
require an internet connection to submit your answers.
NOTE: It is expected that all students have a device that meets the minimum
Ontario Tech specifications for their Faculty; it is your responsibility to install Maple
and make sure it is in working order for lectures, tutorials and the Maple test.
In-Tutorial Assignments:
In-tutorial assignments are to be completed in groups of 4. They are learning
activities that you complete in tutorial. They are marked for effort; in order to receive
this grade, you must come to tutorial prepared and contribute to the groups’ work.
Assignments will be computer-oriented and will cover applications and extensions of
material presented in class that students will be responsible for on tests; therefore:
1. it is imperative that students complete honour homework in order to
prepare for online quizzes, midterms, and the final. Assignments are NOT a
substitute for this!
2. Although the assignments are marked based on effort, it is important to take
them seriously in order to prepare for your Maple test, and help you extend
your knowledge of the concepts learned in class in preparation for tests.
Each group is welcome to hand in the assignment for additional written feedback if
desired. For complete details on this process as well as what to expect from
assignments and how they’ll be marked, please see the “In-Tutorial Assignment
Guide” posted in the “Key Course Resources” in Canvas. The three lowest
assignment grades will not count towards the final grade.
9. Assignments and Tests cont’d…
NOTE: Regarding missed work:
If you miss the Calculus Readiness Assessment, then you will get a
grade of 0 on it. If you missed the test because you registered in the
course Sept 16 or later, you must contact Paula Di Cato by Canvas e-
mail within 5 business days of registration. If you miss the Maple Test,
you will need to provide the appropriate documentation (e.g.
Academic Consideration Form) to Science Advising within 3 business
days of missing the test.
NOTE: We do not release final exam grades to students; if you would like to view
your exam/find out your exam grade, you will need to do an exam view.
Missed Tests:
The new Covid-19 policy on missed (midterm and other) tests is as follows: If you
miss a test for a legitimate reason and can provide appropriate documentation,
you will not be penalized. Legitimate reasons are illness or death in the family, and
appropriate documentation is an Academic Consideration Form or a photocopy of
a death certificate. For information about the deadline and associated process,
please contact Science Advising immediately (science.advising@ontariotechu.ca).
The usual accommodation for a missed midterm test will be to re-weight the
grading scheme to allocate the missed test mark to the final exam mark.
9. Assignments and Tests cont’d…
If you miss a test without a legitimate reason or do not provide the proper
documentation, you will receive a mark of zero. If the test is written, the decision
is irreversible. If you are contemplating not writing a test for any reason, please
speak to the science academic advisor in advance of the test, as well as informing
the instructor.

11. Sensitive/Offensive Subject Matter
The classroom (both physical and virtual) is intended to provide a safe, open
space for the critical and civil exchange of ideas and opinions. Some articles,
media and other course materials may contain sensitive content that is offensive
and/or disturbing. For example, some articles or videos may contain human
anatomy, matters pertaining to race, gender, or sexuality. The Course Instructor
will try to identify such material and communicate warnings to students in advance
of the distribution and use of such materials, affording students the choice to either
emotionally prepare for, or not to view or interact with, the content. The warning
will be: “The content you are about to view contains sensitive subject matter that
may be considered offensive and/or disturbing to some viewers. By viewing
and/or interacting with the content you acknowledge and agree that it is your
decision to view and interact with the content and to take the risk that you will
experience a negative emotional response or reaction to the nature of the
content.”
Students taking courses on north Oshawa campus can visit Student Accessibility
Services in the Student Life Building, U5, East HUB (located in the Founders
North parking lot). Students taking courses on the downtown Oshawa campus
can visit Student Accessibility Services in the 61 Charles St. Building, 2nd Floor,
Room DTA 225 in the Student Life Suite.
When on campus access is allowed, students who require the use of the Test
Centre to write tests, midterms, or quizzes MUST register online using the SAS
test/exam sign-up module, found here
https://disabilityservices.ontariotechu.ca/uoitclockwork/custom/misc/home.aspx.
Students must sign up for tests, midterms, or quizzes AT LEAST seven (7) days
before the date of the test.
Students must register for final exams by the registration deadline, which is
typically two (2) weeks prior to the start of the final examination period. SAS will
notify students of the registration deadline date.
15. Academic Integrity
Students are expected to be familiar with and abide by Ontario Tech University’s
regulations on Academic Conduct which sets out the kinds of actions that
constitute academic misconduct, including plagiarism, copying or allowing one’s
own work to copied, use of unauthorized aids in examinations and tests,
submitting work prepared in collaboration with another student when such
collaboration has not been authorized, among other academic offences. The
regulations also describe the procedures for dealing with allegations, and the
sanctions for any finding of academic misconduct, which can range from a
resubmission of work to a failing grade to permanent expulsion from the university.
A lack of familiarity with these regulations on academic conduct does not
constitute a defense against its application. This information can be found at
http://calendar.uoit.ca/content.php?catoid=22&navoid=879#Academic_conduct
Extra support services are available to all Ontario Tech University students in
academic development, study skills, counseling, and peer mentorship. More
information on student support services can be found at
https://studentlife.ontariotechu.ca/services/academic-support/index.php
To maintain academic integrity in online testing, your instructor may require the
use of Respondus LockDown Browser and Respondus Monitor or a similar virtual
proctoring platform. In doing so, you will be required to use a computer with a
webcam (either built-in or USB plug in). Please advise your instructor as soon as
possible if you do not have a computer with a camera. This is a link to a short
video that explains the basics of Respondus LockDown Browser:

17. Final Examinations
Final examinations are held during the final examination period at the end of the
semester and may take place in a different room and on a different day from the
regularly scheduled class. Check the published Examination Schedule for a
complete list of days and times.
While the University is returning to campus, final exams may require online
submission, so you will require internet access along with a webcam.
Students are required to show their Student ID card (campus ID) when in-person
examinations are allowed. Students are advised to obtain their Student ID Card
well in advance of the examination period as they will not be able to write their
examinations without it. More information on ID cards can be found at
https://registrar.ontariotechu.ca/campus-id/index.php.
Students who are unable to write a final examination when scheduled due to
religious obligations may make arrangements to write a deferred examination.
These students are required to submit a Request for Accommodation for Religious
Obligations to the Faculty concerned as soon as possible and no later than three
weeks prior to the first day of the final examination period.
