Class' Notes (Click here for access)

Welcome!!
You can find the syllabus on Canvas or here. You will use Rational Reasoning (RR) on almost daily basis. RR contains your pre-class assignments (due before each class, yes even before our first class).
You can find the class schedule (with all the due dates) on the syllabus or in RR. Keep track of the due dates! It is your responsibility to submit all the assignments on time (it's my responsibility to grade them in timely matter). No extensions will be given.
Send me an email if you have any question but make sure to start the email with your name, class and the class' section.

Advice from former students:

This isn’t your typical math class, this is an Active Learning course, which means it’s basically self-taught. There is no lecture, no notes, sometimes worksheets, and the workbook only has practice problems with some key concepts to understand the questions. Use outside resources such as Khan Academy, tutoring offered at FIU, or even youtube videos. Take advantage of the re-assessment opportunities and review the assessments to prepare for the final.

In order to pass the class, you have to apply yourself and use the resources available to you! The math lab contributed to most of my success in the class. If you aren’t understanding the pre-class assignments or homework, go to the math lab and they will explain the concepts to you. You have to study. The best way to study for this class is to do practice problems or review the homework and go over the steps it took to get your answer. Just going to class isn’t going to get you an A. You have to apply yourself outside of class as well.

It’s important to show up to every class and do all the assignments; including written homework, online homework, preclass assignments, in class work, etc. Don’t only aim for completing the 60 percent needed to pass, do it all; and if you don’t understand something, go to office hours or look up online videos. Also, if you don’t pass a learning goal, reassess on it right away, don’t wait until the last minute. This class isn’t hard if you do all the work.

Doing the homework will help you grasp many of the topics taught in class. If you are able to take a reassessment make sure to go over the mistakes you made and understand how to solve the problem before going in to your reassessment. Having a study group and going to the Professors office hours will benefit you greatly! All these methods helped me to achieve an A!
