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

   Weekly Homework
   Quizzes
   3 mid-semester Exams
   Cumulative Final Exam
   15%
   10%
   50%
   25%

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.

One of the main goals of the course is to develop your mathematical writing skills, clearly showing all steps taken using correct algebra and notation. Therefore, your homework will be graded on the clarity and correctness of your mathematical presentation. Please take care to submit neat, legible solutions, with problems listed in order. Solutions that are hard to find or read will receive zero credit. Same standards will be applied to exams.

You are encouraged and welcome to work together on the homework. However, the writeup you hand in must be your own work, in your own words. After you have had all your questions answered, you need to be able to do all problems on your own.

Referral to other sources outside of the material given in class (such as searching the web for answers) is not conducive to learning and does not lead to understanding. To understand the material you must work through it. You learn mathematics, just as you do the violin, or soccer, by practice, practice, practice. And just like playing the scales or doing the dribbling skills, it's not necessarily always fun, but necessary. You will hit roadblocks, that is part of the process. But when you do come to your results after possibly a few detours, then you have really understood. So, please know that struggling is ok. But do not bang your head in frustration! It is perfectly ok to try, think about something for a bit, and then get more insight by asking questions.

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: There are several resources to help you succeed in this class. Please consider your instructor your primary resource. Visit them during drop-in hours help hours, ask questions inside and outside of class, let us know what difficulties you are having. We want to hear from you and we want to help you succeed. The recitations are another resource for you to ask any questions you may have. A list of all resources:

- Instructor's drop-in hours, availability in and outside of class

- Teaching assistants/recitations: TAs will lead the recitations and are available for help at the Tutoring Center.

- Tutoring Table, staffed by appropriate instructors throughout the week (see posted schedule)

- CAPS: Center for Academic Program Support. Located on the 3rd floor of Zimmerman Library, (505) 277-7205

- ESS Center: Engineering Student Success Center, (505) 277-4354

- SHAC: Student Health and Counseling, in the Student Health Center, (505) 277-3136. (For test anxiety, etc.)

Most importantly: Ask questions!! In class, in recitations, at CAPS, to your instructor, to each other. You learn the most when you figure out what questions you have, formulate them, and find the answers to them. This is not the same as asking "how do you do this problem?" A better question would be "I tried this and got stuck, I don't see alternatives, can you help?" or, in class, "I don't see how that follows, can you explain?"

Grade Mode Change and Withdrawals: Deadlines to make changes to your registration status are published by the Office of the Registrar in the schedule of classes: http://registrar.unm.edu. To change grade mode or to withdraw after the deadlines posted therein, you need to (1) talk to your instructor to fully understand your standing in the class, and (2) meet with your advisor and discuss the best path for you to proceed, as well as all consequences for your studies. Please ask your advisor to email your instructor, with copy to you, of the final decision. For grade mode changes you may also be required to have your instructor sign a grade mode change form: http://www.unm.edu/~unmreg/images/Forms/EnrlAuth-GradeMode.pdf , and your instructor will accommodate the change. Please note that you cannot request a withdrawal from the course after 5 pm on the Friday before final exams week.

Academic dishonesty:
Academic dishonesty will be reported to the Dean of Students. This includes copying answers from other sources to complete your homework, using external sources (other than pencil and paper) to complete exams, and copying or looking at another student's exam or quiz while it is given.
