It is absolutely essential to write clearly; it is your responsibility to write in a way that tells the instructor that you understand the problem and its solution. In order to succeed in a math course, you will need to keep up daily with new concepts and applications introduced. I expect, in a college mathematics class, for the students to be adequately ready for the class on a given day. Preparation for this class will include: 1. to read sections to be covered each class hour, covering main ideas and examples of relevant ideas, and 2. to have at least looked at the exercise problems at the end of the section. In short, I will expect proactive learning from the students. Mathematics is not automatic, and you are expected to have learned more than merely mechanical skills to solve a few types of problems. Think of math classes as preparations for real life situations when you have to use your quantitative reasoning skills to deduct to a solution. You are expected to read, understand, and think on your own to come to a satisfactory resolution.
My office hours are for your convenience. But if you can't make to any of the given office hours, you are welcome to come by any other time - just make sure that I am around (which I hope to be).
Any student with a documented disability needing academic adjustments or accommodations is requested to speak with me during the first two weeks of class. All discussions will remain confidential. Students with disabilities should also contact Academic Services.
