Rooms 201/203/214 Jarvis Hall Science Wing Welcome to MATH 110 and the Math Teaching and Learning Center! IMPORTANT NOTES: 1. 2. 3. 4. You DO NOT need to check out a textbook for this course. This course does NOT use D2L BRING YOUR LAPTOP to the first day of class. Be there on Day 1: There will be a quiz and software registration. A few details about the first day of class: You MUST attend the first class session on Tuesday, January 19th, 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 an online 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.) You’ll also be taking a brief 8-question, paper-and-pencil quiz on basic math skills in class on this first day. This quiz won’t count for points, but will be taken again the following week and will count for points then. If you want to see what this quiz will look like, check this link: http://www.uwstout.edu/mathtlc/Gateway-Quiz-Learning-Resources.cfm We will be using an online software package for which you will receive an access code packet 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. You will automatically get access to the online version of Beginning and Intermediate Algebra, 5th edition, by K. Elayn Martin-Gay, Prentice Hall. A few copies are available for checkout from Instructional Resource Services at the library 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 DOES NOT have computers available. 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. See www.uwstout.edu/mathtlc/math110.cfm for more course information.
