Student Requirements
This course has the following requirements for students:
  • Proctored Testing is Required
Proctored Testing is Required

Your instructor requires proctored testing. Proctored testing services are available free of charge on a walk-in basis at the Newtown Campus, the Lower Bucks Campus (Bristol), and the Upper Bucks Campus (Perkasie). The specific days and hours for testing services at the Newtown and branch campuses vary by semester.

Your instructor may offer the option of allowing you to propose an alternative proctor if Bucks County Community College testing facilities are otherwise inaccessible to you. However, all proctored testing must occur within the United States during the assigned testing period. Failure to comply will result in your receiving an F for the course.

Accessing Your Course

MyLab / Mastering

Your course is using MyLab / Mastering by Pearson, which requires the purchase of an access code. This code is usually packaged with a new textbook, but may also be purchased separately from the MyLab / Mastering website if it is not included with your book.

Information about MyLab / Mastering can be found at http://pearsonmylabandmastering.com. Please check the Systems Requirements page to verify your computer compatibility.

Your instructor will provide an additional course code you will need to access your specific course.

Purchasing Your Books and Other Course Materials

While you may purchase your books and other course materials from the provider of your choice (using the ISBN number available through the course's academic department where applicable to ensure the correct version), both the campus bookstore and our online bookstore, guarantee that they stock the correct version for your course.

Approximately 3 weeks prior to the start of the session you can use the link below to see the list of books that have been selected by your instructor. If you have any questions about the course materials listed, please contact your instructor or the academic department directly.

Other Information about the Course
Welcome to MATH 101. In this course we will explore mathematical ideas that are relevant to logical thinking and decision making.

I will be available to answer your questions through email(within 24 hours) and/or to meet with you in my office. Let me know whenever you need help.

Students in the Distance Learning section of MATH101 are required to use the 9th edition of "Survey of Mathematics with Applications" by Angel, Abbott, and Runde, together with the online course materials provided in MyMathLab. Access to MyMathLab is free with purchase of the text from the BCCC bookstore. If you purchase the text elsewhere, you may purchase the course space access code separately.

During the semester you will take 3 major tests. Each test will be available in the campus testing center for 1 week. Dates will be provided at the beginning of the semester. Each week you will complete assigned homework problems (online) in MyMathLab, and you will be given a grade for this online homework. Your grade for the semester will be the average of Homework, test 1, test 2, test 3.

I look forward to working with you this semester.
