Absence from class does not excuse a student from assigned work. In general, students will not be required to bring notebook computers to class unless the instructor gives prior notice. In this course, students will use the notebook computer for E-mail, for obtaining course information from their instructor's web page and from the Math 0099 web page, for using the MathCue software that accompanies the textbook, and for other uses that may be indicated by the instructor. Students should activate E-mail immediately. Students are expected to communicate with instructors using E-mail.
Instructors expect students to check their E-mail regularly.
Even though calculators may be downloaded from the web, students should purchase one to use since the notebook computer may not be up and running every time a calculator is needed. Even though students are encouraged to use a calculator, students need to be able to perform basic arithmetic computations without the aid of a calculator. There may be other times when a calculator is not allowed. If you have difficulty with the homework, ask questions in class and get extra help outside of class from the instructor or in the Learning Center. Homework assignments may be collected and checked at any time.
