4. Course Overview & Requirements MATH 62DE

5. Class Format • Your primary “instructor” is the Hawkes computer courseware. • All assignments and tests are completed on the computer. • There are no lectures, but I am here to assist if you get stuck. There are video lectures and an Interactive Tutor in the software

6. Advantages • While there are deadlines for assignments and tests, students find this format a bit more flexible. • All work can be done at home or on other campus computers. • It is a good way to review material that you have learned in the past.

7. Disadvantages • Many students are more successful in a more structured, lecture environment. • While there is an instructor available to help, you are mostly responsible for learning the material via the computer courseware. There are no scheduled lectures.

8. Criteria for Success • You like math, or at least don’t hate it! • You like learning math on your own. • The material you are learning is, for the most part, a review of material you have had in the past but have forgotten. • You are VERY self-motivated.

9. Proper Placement • If you feel you are in the wrong course because the material is too easy or too hard, please contact me. • If you feel that a lecture course would be better for you, check immediately to see if any sections are open and then make the change. Unfortunately, by the time the quarter starts, many courses are already full, but our instructors are committed to adding students who are misplaced.

10. Attendance Requirement • Attendance is NOT part of your grade and is not required. • You DO have resources available for you on campus if you choose to use them (more on these later)

11. On Campus Lab Use • IVC 102 is available to all math lab students with first priority given to students registered at that time. • Classes are scheduled in this room at 8, 9, 10, 11 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. and M/W 2 – 7 p.m. The room is closed at noon. If not a test day, there is probably room for you to use the computers. • Other computers on campus have access to Hawkes including the Math Learning Center (BI 5), the Tech Center (2nd floor), the Library, open computer labs in both Kent and Enumclaw.

12. Materials Needed • Pencil or pen. • Notebook to take notes and to work problems. • Calculator • a scientific calculator • Memory Stick (optional) to save Access Code (Please name your memory stick with your name and write your name on it as well.)

16. Which Option is Best? • Most students DO NOT use the textbook, and yet, a few students find it an excellent supplement, especially when needing to review when a computer is not available. • If you purchase the software online, you DO NOT get the CDs. The CDs contain live video segments that some students find helpful. You can view the videos online.
