Required Materials
No textbook will be needed for this course. However, How to be a Great Math Student by Richard Manning Smith is
suggested and available at the bookstore for purchase if you wish.
Instructional materials, exercises, and assessments will be accessed online using the ALEKS program. ALEKS is a webbased, artificial intelligent assessment and learning system. ALEKS uses adaptive questioning to quickly and accurately
determine what you know and do not know of course topics, and then provides instruction on the topics you are most
ready to learn. (This is in addition to instruction provided from your lecture instructor). Access to ALEKS will be gained
through purchase of ALEKS student user ID # found in the "User's Guide" manual at the Carroll University Bookstore.
The ULR for the ALEKS is www.aleks.com, the course code is listed above, and your student user ID can be found on
your access card in the back of your ALEKS user's guide manual. Do not remove plastic until you are certain you are
in the correct course as this makes the manual not returnable. If you are having difficulty loading ALEKS, contact
ALEKS customer support at http://support.aleks.com or ITS Help Desk at [email protected] for further installation
help.

ALEKS Assessments
Upon logging into ALEKS, you will be prompted to take an initial assessment. This assessment is designed to diagnose
your individualized learning state. Throughout the course, ALEKS will periodically require additional assessments (in
general, every 10 hours and/or 20 topics). Please take these assessments seriously and try to answer each question
correctly and by yourself. There is no partial credit, so take your time and enter answers carefully. If you pass on
problems that are solvable with some effort, ALEKS will conclude that you know less than you actually do. This will
lengthen the number of topics ALEKS thinks you will need to master and the time required to do so. Alternatively, if you
get help from text or others, ALEKS will conclude that you know more than you do and give you problems that are too
difficult. This will also take more time as ALEKS adjusts to your incorrect answers in the learning mode to try to find
your current learning state. On any ALEKS assessment, you can gain and lose individual topics in your pie pieces. Your
final exam is an ALEKS assessment.
Homework: Hours, Topic Checks and Extra Credit
To master course content, most students will need to spend a minimum of 6-8 hours per week working on course material with
the ALEKS program. Since this program individualizes instruction, you will have to make sure that you spend enough time on
ALEKS to adequately prepare for scheduled quizzes and tests. This program logs the hours spent and your progress for you and
your instructor to monitor. There will be six topic checks this semester to ensure you are completing and retaining topics on
your pie. You must have ALL topics done in listed chapters on date listed to receive points. To receive the full points for your
hours, you will need to spend a minimum of 90 hours on ALEKS by the end of the semester. Those falling short on hours, but
obtaining an 88% or higher average on the three tests and final exam, will receive full the 40 points regardless of less hours
spent. Hours above the required 90 at the end of the semester may be applied for up to 15 extra credit points. Your hours will
be tallied at your final exam time.
(To calculate your points, add or subtract ½ point from 40 for each hour you are over or under the required 90 respectively).
Quizzes/Tests
Homework quizzes will be assigned throughout the semester with assigned due dates. These are available to you on ALEKS at
any time and must be completed before the due date outside lecture. If you fail to take the quiz prior to the due date, the quiz
will become unavailable, and you will receive a zero for that quiz. You may work ahead on quizzes if you feel that you have
mastered material to be covered on quiz, and are allowed up to one retake prior to quiz deadline date for each quiz. You may
use notes and calculator on homework quizzes, but this is discouraged as you will not be able to use either on your tests.
Three proctored tests and a cumulative final are scheduled to be given throughout the course and will NOT be open note. You
may only use the calculator provided by ALEKS on these assessments when it is provided. You will be required to submit a
neat and organized written record of problems, work, and answers used on your three individual ALEKS in-class tests and final.
While quizzes and tests will focus on given topics, they may cover material previously assessed.
You may earn the right to retake each of these tests at a specific time to be announced by having perfect attendance and
averaging at least 4 hours a week on ALEKS during the period that test material was covered!
Early Course Completion
If you finish all the objectives from all 9 chapters and all 8 homework quizzes before the third test, you may attempt to
complete the course early. To do this, you must take two proctored ALEKS assessments in a row and score above 88% on
each. Your final overall grade will use the highest score of these two assessments for Test 3 and Final Exam score.
Math Help and More Extra Credit
We cannot help students if we do not know there is a problem! Please let us know immediately if you are having any concerns
or difficulties! There are many places to go for math help. ALEKS has various multimedia tutorials available for each problem
type, and we have loaded video lectures on "My Courses" on various topics. We are available for office hours and by
appointment. You will also have time to seek individual help during your assigned lab section from your instructor and the
MAT 101 Coaches in the Learning Commons. Intermediate Algebra Textbooks are available for reference in the Library.
MAT 101 Coaches are available to work with you on course content, study strategies and assist you with ALEKS program in
the Learning Commons. Working with coaches is free and voluntary, but worth extra credit if you choose! Students may work
with coaches as often as they choose. A session schedule can be found online. For information about the program as well as
session schedule/updates, please visit: http://www.carrollu.edu/learningcommons/math101.asp?nav=6829
You are encouraged to attend the MAT 101 Coaches’ office hours, Learning Commons' workshops, and use the Math Center
tutors for additional help. There is no charge to you for any of these services and hours are available throughout the week. You
may apply the hours spent utilizing the three opportunities listed above for up to 20 extra-credit points in the course. Please see
attached “Learning Commons Record”. You are responsible for keeping track of this documentation to turn into your instructor
in order to receive extra credit points earned. Math Center schedule can be found at:

Absent/Tardy Policy
Your attendance is expected and required for classes. Any known absences for class or missed work must be coordinated
with the instructor in advance and receive prior approval from the instructor to be considered to make-up the credit. A point will
be deducted from your total grade points for each class meeting that is unexcused and work due that day will receive a zero.
Please contact you instructor of any absence regardless of reason. Appropriate medical documentation will be required to
excuse you for any illness-related issues.
Upon passing a quiz with an 83% or better prior to due date, you may contact your instructor with your score to obtain approval
to forego lectures covering material from such quiz. You may use this time to work on course content individually IN CLASS.
Accommodations for Disabilities
Any requests for accommodations must be made through Disability Services Coordinator Marty Bledsoe. She may be reached
at 262-524-7335 or [email protected]. Appropriate accommodations will be made once notification from Ms. Bledsoe is
communicated with your instructor.
Academic Integrity Policy
All work on assignments, quizzes, and tests is expected to be your own and represent your ability in course content. In addition,
you should be the only one that logs into your ALEKS account, so please guard your login and password. The Carroll
University Academic Integrity Policy is located in your student handbook. Please familiarize yourself with this policy. If a
student violates this policy in any way, the instructor or college reserves the right to impose a sanction of failure on the
assignments/assessment or failure in the course.
The instructor and the College reserve the right to modify, amend, or change the syllabus (course
requirements, curriculum, grading policy, etc.) as the curriculum and/or program require(s).
For Technical Support from ALEKS: Email ALEKS at [email protected] . Include date and time of incident, your full
name, login, Carroll University, and detailed description of specific problem and where specifically on site it occurred.
Be sure to copy your instructor and please remember to use formal writing not chat.
