Welcome to Math 062 and 070 Please initial the appropriate attendance roster near the door. If you are on the Wait List you will find your name at the bottom. If you are not on the roster, please add your name & initial. Pick up the syllabus and correct calendar.

Course Overview & Requirements MATH 062, 070

Instructor Information Laura Moore-Mueller (please call me “Laura”) Email: lmoore-mueller@greenriver.edu Office: SMT 326 Office Hour: 10-10:50 AM Phone: 253-833-9111 x 4444

Attendance Roster This first week only, please sign the appropriate attendance roster near the door. If you are on a wait list, please keep coming each day and sign the roster. I’ll be able to tell you on the 3rd day if there is space available in the class.

Class Format Your primary “instructor”: Hawkes computer courseware. NOT distance education; IS a “flex” course. All assignments and tests completed on computer. No lectures, but instructor here to assist if needed.

Advantages More flexible but with deadlines. Location choice for all but TESTS. Good review of materials previously learned.

Disadvantages Structure of lecture environment can be more helpful. I am available for help; you are responsible for learning the material via the computer courseware. No scheduled lectures.

Criteria for Success You enjoy learning! You like learning math at your own pace. 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.

Proper Placement Please see me as soon as possible if your mathematical ability does not match your placement. 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.

Attendance Requirement If you are new to Hawkes, attendance the first 4 days is required. Attendance the first full week is often helpful. After the first week, the only required attendance is for TESTS. They must be taken in class during your scheduled class hour. See the calendar. Attendance is NOT part of your grade.
