We want to hear from you and we want to help you succeed. Below is a list of resources. See below for Grade Mode Change and Academic Dishonesty. Schedule:
Instruction mode: Most classes meet in person, with three 50-minute sessions of direct instruction plus one 75-minute recitation to go over problems and any quizzes or assessment that is given. Prerequisites and review: review problems is posted here so you can review before the semester starts and be well prepared. The goal of mathematics courses at UNM is to build your skills and strengthen them as you go semester after semester. Review is needed, but don't worry if you do not feel 100% confident to start with. We will review as we go and gain skill and confidence throughout. We will assess your preparedness for this course early on and advise correspondingly. If you have any questions about which is the appropriate course for you make sure to talk with your instructor early in the first week of classes. Course Grade: Your final course grade will be determined from
Your percentage grade will be posted on Canvas. A comprehensive 90%, 80%, or 70% grade will guarantee a passing grade of A,B or C, respectively, in the course. While your instructor will give general feedback on grades in class, you should contact your instructor directly anytime you want to know more closely what your standing in the course is. In particular, you should contact your instructor before deciding to drop the course. Attendance: Attendance at UNM is mandatory and engagement in the class (regular homework completion, questions/comments inside and outside class, and in office hours) is necessary to succeed in this course. If you need to miss class, please let your instructor know. Your Instructor may drop you from the course if you have more than 4 absences, lectures and recitations combined. Please make sure to stay in touch with your instructor in case of special circumstances that temporarily prevent you from participating as needed. Homework:
Weekly homework sets are due on the posted due date, by 11:59pm, to be submitted through Canvas. You will need a scanning app for your mobile device to scan your solutions as a pdf file. Work outside class: Please note that UNM requires a minimum of two hours work outside of class for each credit hour. Only with daily work and good use of your resources will you profit the most and succeed in this class. This is a four credit-hour course, with three lectures and one recitation for fifteen weeks during the Fall 2022 semester. Please plan for a minimum of eight hours of out-of-class work each week: 2 hours after each lecture and 2 hours on the weekend to finalize the homework. The homework is set up to make it clear which problems to work on after each lecture. Life Happens: Homework and quizzes should be submitted by their due date to receive credit. In general, late homework will not be accepted and makeup quizzes will not be given. We realize that unexpected events in life may come up. To account for this, 2 of your lowest quiz scores and 2 of your lowest homework scores will be dropped when computing your final course grade. Makeup Exams: Makeup exams will not be given except in documented emergencies. If you need to reschedule because of a documented emergency (eg, surgery), please let your instructor know as soon as you find out. If you miss an exam due to sickness, contact your instructor immediately. Do not schedule a personal trip during exams as you will not be given a makeup. Non-NCAA sporting events are also not university authorized emergencies. Tutoring Center Hours: are posted here Resources:
