| X101: Learning Strategies for Math. This is a 2 credit hour course you can take in conjunction with M118. It will help you study and learn the material in this class. It is recommended if you have math anxiety, are struggling with the material, have failed the class previously, or have low placement exam scores and/or low math SAT scores. | www.indiana.edu/~sac/x101_m.html |

Calculators: A single-line calculator may be used on the exams. No graphing calculators or other electronic devices (such as cell phones) may be used.
Cheating: It is not possible to cheat on homework and pop quizzes. These will all be open note, open text, open friend, etc... However, all exam work must be your own and no cheating will be tolerated. All suspected cases of cheating will be handled in accordance with University procedures found at http://dsa.indiana.edu/ethics.html. If you do cheat, you will receive an F in the course. Additional sanctions may be imposed by the Dean.
Homework: To do well in M118, you need to keep up with the material. Essential to that task is studying and practicing daily. If the homework you are asked to turn in each day in class is not sufficient practice for you, additional suggested exercises are provided on the departmental syllabus. These are usually odd numbered problems with solutions given in the back of your text. You should work problems until you are comfortable with the material and get most of the answers correct.
The homework will be graded as follows: two problems will be chosen to be graded. You will get 5 points per graded problem for a completely correct answer, 2.5 points for a mostly correct answer and/or good initial attempt, and 0 points for an incorrect answer for a total of 10 points per assignment. You will not receive extensive feedback as to what you did wrong. To obtain this feedback, ask how to do the problem at one of the sources of help you have available to you (my office hours, departmental help sessions, or the tutoring services provided in the residence halls.)
