The following information is provided for instructors and students, to aid
in their understanding of requirements. It also contains information on common final exams. For information on prerequisites, and how the math courses flow with one another, please click (Placement Flyer)
Jump To:
|
|
| Attendance |
Attendance in lower level courses is mandatory; students
are expected to attend all classes. Some courses will have sign-in
sheets. Instructors may reduce a student's final grade due to lack
of attendance. See syllabus for specific attendance
policy. |
| Calculators |
While some instructors may allow you to use calculators in
the classroom and during assessments, ALL Math courses from Math 095 through Math 127 do NOT
allow calculators during the final examination. In Math 132, students will use a calculator
provided by the department. Be prepared. |
| Outside Class Work |
The typical math student will need to study an average
of 3 hours per week for every 1 credit outside of the classroom. In
other words, this is 9 hours outside of the classroom for a 3 credit
class. Students who have difficulty with mathematics may need to
work additional hours to pass the course. |
| Homework |
If a course has listed Homework (below), this software (or online
program) is a mandatory component of the course. You may not
have to purchase the book new in the bookstore to utulize the software, as
it is often sold separately online. Your instructor will provide
you with more information the first day of class. |
| Textbook |
If you have an older (or used) version of the textbook,
the DMS reccommends you purchase the current version. While the changes
may be minor with each edition, it can create confusion with assigned readings
and written homework. Your instructor is not obligated to modify
assignments for different editions. |
| Final Exam |
If your course has a common final exam listed, be
prepared. This final date/time/location is fixed, and cannot be
rescheduled or made-up. In addition, all common final exams for
Math 095 through Math 132 do NOT allow calculators or formula cards.
See below for the specific policy for your course, and perhaps hints
to help you prepare. |
| Syllabus |
Your instructor will use the posted syllabus frame for
your particular class. You may reference this syllabus online at any
time, but it will not have your section or instructor information. Be
aware of your instructors specific policies. |
| Study Week |
The UNLV Faculty Senate approved the following policy for
Study Week - "To ensure that students have the proper time to prepare for
final examinations, the week before final exams shall be designated as a
study week, in which classes will meet as scheduled but during which faculty
members are encouraged to refrain from giving major tests (i.e. hour-long,
sit-down, written exams). The policy shall not affect such assignments as
laboratory finals, performance exams (as in juries, theatre, music, dance,
etc.), short quizzes, term papers, final reports, and similar activities."
Some instructors may choose to have an examination study
week, but are encouraged to include it on their syllabus or schedule. An
instructor may choose to review during part or all of Study Week, but there
is no entitlement to such a review and new material may be taught. Re-teaching
an entire semester of material during study week is an inappropriate
expectation. |
| Show Your Work |
Most problems encountered in the classroom, on tests, etc.
are simplified for the students due to time constraints. In particular, numbers
that appear in most problems are not just randomly selected. As such, students
must show their work to document that they can do a typical problem with
numbers randomly selected. No work typically means no
credit. |
| Important Dates |
- Classes begin Jan 22
- Last day to add Jan 28
- No classes Feb 18, March 25-30
- Last day to withdraw (W on transcript) April 5
- Classes end May 11

|
| Memorandum of Understanding |
During full semesters (fall and spring), all non-faculty teaching Math 095 through
Math 132 are required to sign and comply with a Memorandum of Understanding. This must be filed in
the front office by the end of the first week of classes. Contact the front office for an extra copy for your
records. |
| Be Aware |
Familarize yourself with the "General Information for Students"
above. Adhere to these policies. |
| Policies You Must Adhere To |
Familiarize yourself with ALL policies listed on the MOU. This was provided at orientation. Contact the
front office if you would like an additional copy for your records. You will be held accountable for all listed
policies. |
| Calculators |
ALL Math courses from Math 095 through Math 127 do NOT
allow calculators during the final examination. In Math 132, students will use a calculator
provided by the department. Prepare your students by following the same procedures on
your classroom assessments. |
| Homework |
If a course has listed Homework, this software (or online
program) is a mandatory component of the course. Typically there
is a course designer to assist you; if so, this person will be listed
under the "Instructor Use Only" section. Should you seek clarification
or instructions, contact this designer, or (in the case of no designer) the
DMS front office. You should provide students with specific
instructions on use the first day of class. |
| Final Exam |
If your course has a common final exam (Math 95, 96, 126, 127, 128 and 132)
-- the DMS will design and implement the final exam for your course. You will be
required to assist in the implementation, which is often a large group common final
for all students (except for 95 and 128). You will be responsible for grading the exam and reporting
the results to the undergraduate coordinator or associate chair. In addition,
some courses have 'group' grading of the final exam, which typically takes place
immediately following the exam or the day after. In this case, you are required
to participate in the group grading process. Be sure you and your students are aware
of the common final exam time.
If your course has a common set of questions (Math 120 and 124) -- the DMS will design
a set of common questions that you must include on your final exam. You
will be responsible for including these on your final exam, grading them,
and reporting the results to the undergraduate coordinator or associate
chair. Typically these questions are available to you upon request at the beginning of the
semester. Email the undergraduate coordinator for more information.
The data sheets for grade reporting are located in the "for instructor use only" section
of the course information (below).
If available, you will see "Hints for Final Exam" If provided, you
must provide this information directly to your students. Please ensure
students are aware of what is expected of them. |
| Syllabus |
Most courses (Math 95, 96, 120, 124, 126, 127, 128 and 132) have a posted syllabus frame.
If provided, you must use this syllabus base for all sections of your course. |
