  1. Summer 2009 Math 1431 and Math 1432 begin

  2. What to do… • Watch the orientation video from the spring online classes. Please note that the spring classes had two weekly lecture sessions and the summer class will have only one lecture session and one problem session each week. • Read all information in this PowerPoint. • Come to the online orientation session (information in the last slide). next

  3. Frequently Asked Questions: • Do I ever need to come to campus? • When are the Midterm and Final Exams? • What is the “Lab” portion of this class? • I cannot attend the lecture session, what should I do? • How are grades determined? • What is Coursware? next

  4. Do I ever need to come to campus? • Yes, two times. Your midterm and final exams are given on campus in room 221 of Garrison Gym. • The tutoring center is also located on campus in 222 Garrison Gym if you need extra help. • Note: if you live more than 100 miles from UH main campus, we will need to make arrangements for you to test at another university or a testing center. Please email me to discuss this further. next

  5. When are the Midterm and Final Exams? • The midterm will be Friday July 10th and Saturday July 11th • The final will be Friday August 7th and Saturday August 8th • Again, if you are more than 100 miles away during exam time, we will need to make alternate arrangements. next

  6. What is the “Lab” portion of this class? • Face to face calculus classes have a separate time to attend a required problem quiz section. For the online calculus classes, we have incorporated that into the weekly sessions and into participation in the Discussion Board. • The Discussion Board is located on Courseware. next

  7. I cannot attend the lecture session, what should I do? • Watch the video and answer the alternate poppers BEFORE the stated due date. • If you have questions about the lecture or the problem session, post them to the discussion board. • If you cannot attend the problem session, be sure to look over those notes as well. There will be poppers during that session too. next

  8. How are grades determined? • As stated in your syllabus: 30% final exam, 25% midterm exam, 20% quizzes, 20% homework, 5% participation • You must make at least a 60% on the final to be eligible to pass the class. • Quizzes are REQUIRED. The first quiz is a Course Policy quiz. You must make a 100% on this before you can take any other quizzes. There is a posted quiz schedule on your class page (www.math.uh.edu/~bekki then click on your class). • Homeworks are REQUIRED. There will be one homework assignment each week to submit online. • Participation is REQUIRED. Participation is made up of popper points and discussion board entries. You must make at least one entry regarding the week’s assignments or quiz to the discussion board each week. You may post your own question or answer someone else’s to receive credit. next

  9. Special Note about Grades • DO NOT EMAIL ME AT THE END OF THE SEMESTER REGARDING YOUR GRADE IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE 100% OF THE QUIZZES, HOMEWORK AND PARTICIPATION. next

  10. What is Coursware? • www.casa.uh.edu • On this page, you will find your textbook, quizzes, Discussion Board, grades, assignments, and exam scheduling. • You will not be able to log on to Courseware until closer to the start date of the class. next
