Important General Information:

1. If a student is absent from a test and wishes to be given a make-up test, then he or she must formally request this within 48 HOURS of the test missed. The request, which must be supported by a properly documented excuse, must be presented to the student's instructor. If you are the least bit uncertain as to the validity of an excuse based on some previously scheduled, upcoming event, then seek approval for a make-up before the exam in question, not after the fact.

2. To succeed in M408L students need to develop good study habits and to seek assistance whenever and wherever it is provided. Students are particularly encouraged to attend discussion groups regularly and to seek help from the Teaching Assistant for the section for which they are registered.

3. Additional help is available at the Sanger Learning and Career Center (SLCC) in Jester A115.

The Sanger Center offers early-semester classes to support students' preparation for M408L:

Calculus Refresher for M408L– TWTh (9/4 - 9/6) – (6:00 - 7:30)

Algebra Refresher – TWTh (9/4 - 9/6) – (6:00 - 7:30)

Trigonometry Refresher – MTW (9/10 - 9/12) – (6:00 - 7:30)

Each class is a 3-day series (covering unique information each day).  All classes are free for currently enrolled UT students.

The Sanger Center also offers three forms of tutoring to students throughout the semester:

Drop-In Tutoring – A free, walk-in study environment supported by our mathematics tutors

Appointment Tutoring – Individualized one-hour meetings with one of our mathematics tutors

Small Group Tutoring – Arranged group study for students enrolled in a common class, supported by our mathematic tutors

A further description of the Sanger Learning and Career Center services can be found here: http://lifelearning.utexas.edu/

Students may enroll in refresher classes and register for tutoring support by going directly to the Student Login portion of the website.

4.  Residential Hall Study Groups
Sunday - Thursday evenings.

Jester Dormitory (Jester City Limits, 1st floor, 7:30-10:30 pm)

The College of Natural Sciences has created the RHSG for M408K, M408L as well as CH301and Bio311C, to encourage group study and independent thinking. RHSG will be staffed by teaching assistants and undergraduates.

5.  Students who fall under the University's Learning Disability Policy must present certification of that fact to the student's instructor prior to the first test.  The University of Austin provides upon request appropriate academic accommodations for qualified students with disabilities. For more information and certification letter, contact the Division of Diversity and Community Engagement, Services for Students with Disabilities: http://www.utexas.edu/diversity/ddce/ssd/,  471- 6259, 471-6441 TTY.  

6. Calculators may be used on the homework but may NOT be used on any tests.

7. QUEST INSTRUCTIONAL CHARGE 

This course makes use of the web-based Quest content delivery and homework server system
maintained by the College of Natural Sciences.  This homework service will require a $25 charge
per student for its use, which goes toward the maintenance and operation of the resource.  Please
go tohttp://quest.cns.utexas.edu to log in to the Quest system for this class.  After the 12th day of
class, when you log into Quest you will be asked to pay via credit card on a secure payment site.
You have the option to wait up to 30 days to pay while still continuing to use Quest for your
assignments. If you are taking more than one course using Quest, you will not be charged more
than $50/semester. Quest provides mandatory instructional material for this course, just as is your
textbook, etc.  For payment questions, email quest.billing@cns.utexas.edu.
