- Print the worksheets onto paper, complete them by-hand with a pencil, scan your completed worksheets, and save them as PDFs.
- No show policy
- Your instructor can mark you as a "no show" if you do not participate in your class during the first week. This will remove you from the class. It is important to log in as soon as the class starts to see what the participation requirements are.
- Web Technical Requirements:
- Please be sure to read the quick guide to Distance Education technical requirements.

Instructor comments:
In this online course the major topics have been divided into sections. Each section contains a collection of 'chapters' of online lecture notes that each focus on a particular aspect of the subject. Each week you will be expected to study a few 'chapters' of online lecture notes and read the corresponding sections of your textbook and do the suggested practice problems.
Thoughts about Distance Learning and Mathematics:
For many students, is not easy to learn mathematics in the online format. The time you would spend in class will instead be spent reading and studying mathematics on your computer and in your textbook. You will be trying to teach yourself the material. To be successful in this class, you must be an independent learner and pretty comfortable using a computer.
This course, like other math courses, is time-intensive. (In fact, on-line classes often require a bigger time commitment than on campus classes.) Classes like this one typically require about five hours each week reading and studying the material available online (just like attending class) and an additional eight to twelve hours reading the textbook, doing homework, and studying.
Please assess your situation, and determine if you will be able to commit this kind of time to the class. Also think about the type of learner you are. On-line courses are a terrific option, especially for independent, self-motivated learners. If this does not describe you, consider why it is you are thinking about taking this type of class, and if it really is a medium that will give you the best chance to succeed. DO NOT TAKE MTH 112 ONLINE BECAUSE YOU THINK IT WILL BE EASIER THAN AN ON-CAMPUS CLASS. For most students, it is MORE challenging online than on-campus.
