Primary “instructor” : the Hawkes computer courseware NOT a distance education class rather a “hybrid” course All assignments and tests: completed on the computer. No lectures, but I can assist if you need help.

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

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

You like learning 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.

Wrong course? Is the material too easy or too hard? Please see me. Lecture course better? Check immediately for any open sections and make the change. (Unfortunately, by the time the quarter starts, many courses are already full.) More information about math placement and Sample Entrance Exams? Please visit:

Attendance the first full week is REQUIRED. After week 1 only required attendance is for TESTS. TESTS must be taken in class during your scheduled class time. Attendance is NOT part of your grade.

All lessons, pre-tests and tests may be taken early! Pre-tests must be completed before midnight on the due day. Tests must be taken in class!

Room available during your scheduled class time. Classes are scheduled in this room at 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 a.m. and at 1:00 p.m. and on Mondays and Wednesday, 2 – 6:50 PM. If not a test day, there may be room for you to use the computers outside your class time. Other computers on campus have access to Hawkes including the Math Learning Center (CH 313), the Tech Center (2 nd floor) & the Library.
