9. Pre-First Day Activities
Learning Web – Post Syllabus
MyMathLab – Copy the MyMathLab Model Course – edit dates & assignments
Canvas – Copy Canvas Model Course – edit to include your course info, syllabus, etc.
Identify co-requisite students
Verify that all Math 0310 coreq students are enrolled in Math 1324 or Math 1342
Check the instructor name for each co-enrolled student
each student a copy of the syllabus. Let them know about co- requisite courses.

10. Set the tone for the semester Begin to build a community of learners
Day 1 Activities

Course Content & Administration
Learning Outcomes/Expectations
Course requirements/Evaluation
Administrative procedures
Review syllabus/outline (1 page)
Students submit Information Sheet
Discuss co-requisite courses
If students need to be added/dropped, fill out the Class Add/Drop Form.
Set the Tone/Build a community of Learners
Make Effective Introductions
Develop Classroom Guidelines
Help students learn about you and each other
Help to build relationships

11. Identification of Co-requisite Students
6/23/2018
Identification of Co-requisite Students
“C” on the Attendance Roster indicates a co-requisite student – Handout
Students should be co-enrolled in Math 0310 and either Math or Math 1342.
Errors found before Day 1 should be reported to the Department Chair
Errors found on Day 1 should be entered in the Drop/Add sheet

12. Procedure for Drop/Add (1st week)
Instructor fills out student information on Drop/Add Form during the 1st week of class
Turn the form into your Associate Chair
Adds will be completed based upon availability.
Students will be notified by and must check their Student Account to ensure that any added class is paid for.
No charge to students
Do not guarantee any change to the student schedule. It is possible that a class may be full.

13. Information Sheet
Handout 11
Keep the Information Sheet on file

14. Journaling What is the purpose of journaling?
To keep track of what strategies worked or didn’t work in your class
To assess student learning
To improve teaching strategies as needed
How often should I record notes in my journal?
During or immediately after each class period
Faculty should write additional notes or ideas in their journal as they come up with them
Classroom Observation Checklist – Handout
Suggested Instructional Practices - Handout

15. Early Alert On Peoplesoft Student System
Use this early for students who are coming late, missing class, missing assignments, or have low scores.
Use this system in the first five weeks of the semester

16. Positive Attitude Come in with confidence and positive attitude
Use class time effectively
Know you’ll be with students who are struggling with college-level math
Be willing to discuss college-level problems during class time
Follow the syllabus
Communicate with other co-requisite instructors

17. How to succeed in a corequisite setting
Developmental math provides support for college-level courses
Do NOT teach topics out of order. The syllabus has been designed so that topics are taught in a just-in-time manner for college-level math
If a student is struggling…
Is the student a coreq student?
Contact the other instructor
Remind the student about tutoring and office hours
If the student drops the Dev Math class, they also get dropped from college-level math

18. Focus Groups
Developmental math and college-level math instructors will meet monthly during the fall to discuss the implementation of co-requisites at HCC.
September 14th
September 28th
October 26th
November 30th
