The purpose of this lab is to give you as much help as possible in the corresponding mathematics course you are enrolled in. Our time in lab will be spent solving problems, helping each other, talking about study skills for math, and test preparation for any math class. The only requirement for this lab is ATTENDANCE. The more you attend lab (and your class), the better you will do in your class.

Course Organization: Some sections are "combined" with one or more other math lab sections for similar courses, in order to have enough students for the section to be offered.

Prerequisite / Co-requisite: You must have met the prerequisite for, and be enrolled in, the corresponding DVM or MTH course. If you withdraw from that course, you must withdraw from this lab as well. Otherwise you are likely to receive an F in the lab.

Credit: This course counts for one hour of developmental credit, which is counted in your load for financial aid, in most cases, and for some other purposes. It does not count as college-level credit. Thus it will not satisfy any degree or certificate requirements or transfer to other schools.

Required Materials: You must bring your textbook and list of homework problems to every lab class meeting. To get the most from the class, you should work on the homework ahead of time and bring a list of your questions, as well.

Grading: You must receive a grade for this lab since this lab is part of your official schedule. Because the intent of this lab is to help you in your course, you will be graded on attendance only.

Grading scale:

A - Less than 10% of the classes missed

(If your class meets twice a week for 16 weeks, this is 3 classes or less.)

B - Between 11% and 20% of the classes missed

(If your class meets twice a week for 16 weeks, this is 4 - 6 classes.)

If you have missed more than 20% of the classes (more than 6 classes in a class that meets twice a week for 16 weeks,) you are not meeting the objectives of the lab and you should withdraw by the appropriate date. If you do not withdraw, you will receive the grade of F for the lab.

Your instructor may or may not provide for "excused absences." If so, he/she will provide you with information about what you must do to have an absence counted as "excused."
