Department of MathematicsMATH 0891/0892/0893 Learning Support in MathematicsDepartment of MathematicsMATH 0891/0892/0893 Learning Support in MathematicsCredit Hours and Course DescriptionLearning Support in MathematicsA student with mathematics ACT sub score below 19 should enroll in MATH 0891 Learning Support in Mathematics I. Based on the student’s career goals, a set of required modules from the following list will be determined. In the event that the student’s career goals change, the required modules may also be changed.MATH 0891 Learning Support in Mathematics I 3 CREDIT HOURSA student needing to master competencies included in any Module 1 - 12 will register for MATH 0891. The student is expected to complete a minimum of four modules in order to earn a passing grade in this course except if the student needs less than four modules.MATH 0892 Learning Support in Mathematics II 3 CREDIT HOURSA continuation of MATH 0891. Prerequisite: Successful completion of MATH 0891.MATH 0893 Learning Support in Mathematics III 3 CREDIT HOURSA continuation of MATH 0892.

Collaboration is encouraged on many assignments such as homework and guided study. Tutors are available to assist you with this sort of work. Exams are considered individual work and must be completed without unauthorized assistance of any kind, including help of other students, tutors, or notes. All test material is to be turned in with the test paper. Attempting to bring work out of the testing area and/or share that work with other students is considered cheating. Cheating on tests, misrepresentation of attendance, falsifying records, or lying will result in loss of credit for all work involved.Excerpted from the 2011-2012 Jackson State Community College Catalog and Student Handbook, page 149:- The instructor has the primary responsibility for control of classroom and behavior and maintenance of academic integrity, and can order the temporary removal or exclusion from the classroom any student engaged in disruptive conduct or conduct in violation of the general rules and regulations of the institution. Extended or permanent exclusion from the classroom or further disciplinary action can be effected through appropriate procedures of the institution.- Plagiarism, cheating and other form of academic dishonesty are prohibited. Students guilty of academic misconduct, either directly or indirectly, through participation or assistance, are immediately responsible to the instructor of the class. In addition to other possible disciplinary sanctions, which may be imposed through the regular institutional procedures, as a result of academic misconduct, the instructor has the authority to assign an “F” or a zero for the exercise or examination, or to assign an “F” in the course.- Disruptive behavior in the classroom may be defined as, but is not limited to, behavior that obstruct or disrupts the learning environment (e.g., offensive language, harassment of students and professors, repeated outburst from a student which disrupt the flow of instruction orprevent concentration on the subject that, failure to cooperate in maintaining classroom decorum, etc.), the continued use of electronic orother
