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. Grading: Your final course grade will be determined from
Your current percentage grade will always be visible in your Canvas page. A comprehensive 90%, 80%, or 70% grade will guarantee a passing grade of A,B or C, respectively, in the course. However, a grade below 70% does not mean you will fail the class. While your instructor will give general feedback on grades in class, you should make sure to contact your instructor directly anytime you want to know more closely what your standing in the course is. In particular, you need to 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:

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 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:
All homework must be completed to master the material in this course. However, we understand that life happens and there are times where we all need grace for late assignments. Homework will generally be due Sundays at 11:59pm. If there are isolated instances where you need extra time to complete an assignment, you can take a "life happens" card and turn the homework in one day late, before solutions are posted. You have two such "life happens" cards.
Solutions are typically posted 30 hours later after the due date or by 6am on Tuesdays. Assignments turned in after solutions are posted will be eligible for 20% completion points.
Exam dates: All exam dates are given in the syllabus at the beginning of the semester. Exams cannot be rescheduled 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.
