Calculators: Calculators will not be allowed on exams or quizzes. At this stage in your studies it is important to learn how to do mathematical manipulations by hand so that you can properly instruct computers to solve your problems.
Important Comment: Class attendance is expected. Reading the sections in the textbook ahead of time is recommended.
Academic Adjustments for Students with Disabilities: Students who have been certified by the Office of the Dean of Students-Adaptive Programs as eligible for academic adjustments should go to MATH 242 and request an Information Sheet that explains how to get these adjustments made in Mathematics courses. This should be done during the first week of classes. Only students who have been certified by the ODOS-Adaptive Programs and who have requested ODOS to send their certification letter to their instructor are eligible for academic adjustments.
Students who are currently undergoing an evaluation process to determine whether they are eligible for academic adjustments are encouraged to find out now what procedures they will have to follow when they are certified by requesting the above mentioned Information Sheet from MATH 242.
Large print copies of the Information Sheet are available from MATH 242 upon request.
