Email access: your MEID@maricopa.Edu email account is the official form of communication between PVCC and you.Cognitive learning definition and examples you are responsible for reading college and class messages and responding accordingly. You may choose to use your own personal email address in canvas and MOER, but you should check your college email address frequently for messages.Cognitive learning definition and examples

Calculator: A TI-83 or TI-84 graphing calculator is required. They can be rented from the math testing and tutoring center for the semester for $20.00.Cognitive learning definition and examples you will not be allowed to use your cell phone as a calculator for the midterm and final exam. Calculators with QWERTY keyboards or those which do symbolic algebra (such as the TI-92 or TI-89) may not be used on the midterm or final exam.Cognitive learning definition and examples

Notebook and headphones: A math notebook with at least the following sections: notes, assignments, and tests. This will be your best resource for the class.Cognitive learning definition and examples take the time to get organized.

Your quizzes are open notes; so it is to your advantage to take good notes and to keep an organized notebook.Cognitive learning definition and examples if you will be using a computer at a public place, you may want to have a pair of headphones handy as well.

• online math classes are not easier than taking the class in the classroom.Cognitive learning definition and examples if this was a traditional MAT142 class, we would meet 3 hours per week in the classroom plus homework and outside class activities. Students are expected to put in two to three hours of outside study time for each hour they are in the classroom.Cognitive learning definition and examples that means at least 9 hours a week. Remember how much time you are saving because you are not driving and then sitting in class.

In reality, succeeding at an online math course requires commitment, perseverance, good organizational skills and the ability to work on your own without a teacher reminding you of what’s due!Cognitive learning definition and examples you should expect to spend about 6-9 hours minimum each week on this class doing the following:

• all of the regular course work will be completed online.Cognitive learning definition and examples students enrolled in this course will use current technology in order to meet the requirements of this course. The use of technology includes computers, learning management system, content specific software, technology based instructional tools, and other technology resources.Cognitive learning definition and examples the use of technology is to provide a flexible delivery method to online students and to enhance the learning of mathematics. Students will be required to use MOER, web browsers, manage emails, and a variety of online learning tools.Cognitive learning definition and examples you will be required to have an email account for this class and to check it regularly.

Students must be present in class at least once every seven days (unless the student has worked ahead of deadlines and/or completed the course early).Cognitive learning definition and examples your participation is measured electronically by your log-in to MOER and by completing your homework, quizzes and tests. If you appear to have stopped attending class, you may be dropped.Cognitive learning definition and examples students who have not logged into MOER during the first week and completed the acknowledgment, and the introductory discussion 1 will be dropped.Cognitive learning definition and examples

• homework assignments for each of the sections we will be covering will be completed in MOER, and must be completed by the due date listed with each assignment ( it can be completed early if you prefer; you are allowed to work ahead of schedule but please don’t get behind!).Cognitive learning definition and examples to help you complete your homework, MOER provides multiple resources including short videos, with steps shown.

• midt erm exam : during the eighth week of the semester, your knowledge will be assessed through a midterm exam. The exam is proctored but taken online at the math testing center (located in the Q building) during their open hours and will be 2 hours long.Cognitive learning definition and examples students need to pay special note that the testing center is open only during daytime hours. Students who are unable to take their exam at the math testing center due to work obligations or because they are not within driving distance of the center, may use the online proctoring service proctoru to take their midterm and/or final exams.Cognitive learning definition and examples the fee for this service (typically between $25 – $35 per exam) will be the responsibility of the student.
