Welcome to MATH 010 and the Math Teaching and Learning Center!
NOTE: This course does NOT use D2L. See www.uwstout.edu/mathtlc for course info.
A few important announcements about the first day of class:
You MUST attend the first class session on Wednesday, January 20th, because:




Some sections of the course are filled to capacity with waiting lists.
Anyone who misses the first day of class risks being administratively dropped from the course to
open a slot for someone on the waiting list.
There will be a 10-point quiz covering syllabus items on the first day of class.*
These points cannot be made up if you do not attend the first class.
(A syllabus will be handed out at the first class session and can be used for the quiz.)
In addition to the syllabus quiz points, you’ll also get attendance points for this first day. Again,
these points cannot be made up if you miss class that day.
We will be using an online software package for which you will receive an access code at the first
class meeting allowing you to register on-line while following step-by-step instructions from your
instructor. Missing the first class will put you behind schedule immediately, since you’ll need to
be registered in the software to do the syllabus quiz and submit homework assignments.
****
You DO NOT need to check out a TEXTBOOK ****
You DO NOT need to check out a textbook for this course from Instructional Resources at the
library. You will automatically get access to the online version of Beginning Algebra, 5th edition, by K. Elayn
Martin-Gay, Prentice Hall (2008). A few copies are available for checkout at Instructional Resource Services if
you would like to have a paper copy for reference, but this is not required.
IMPORTANT: BRING YOUR LAPTOP & POWER CORD
TO CLASS FOR THIS FIRST SESSION (and every session thereafter).
The Math TLC lab has network connector ports at each student workspace, but DOES NOT have
computers at these stations. If you don’t bring your laptop, you won’t be able to register, take the
first quiz, or do any assignments during the class session.
note-taking materials
You should also bring
to class the first day and all subsequent
class sessions. (Keeping a paper notebook is strongly encouraged and will be rewarded with
participation points.)
*NOTE: A hard copy of the syllabus and a calendar of course lectures, quizzes, tests and assignment
due dates will be handed out at the first class period. These handouts contain all answers to the syllabus
quiz and can be used as you take the online, first-day syllabus quiz in class.
