1. If you come in late, be sure to get a course syllabus, additional information sheet and an eligibility form. Eligibility forms are used to determine first day attendance. If you do not fill out and return an eligibility form by the end of class today, you may be dropped as a no-show. If you are not currently registered for this class, you must use

the on-line DROP/ADD to add it as seats become available. I cannot help you with this. I will be turning in names of no-shows and ineligible students to be dropped which will make seats available . Keep trying!

Please do not turn in an eligibility form if you are not enrolled in this class.

Eligibility for MAC 1105 is discussed on the homepage for MAC1105. There is a link for the MAC1105 home page on my home page: www.math.fsu.edu/~kutter

Text - MAC1105/1140 Precalculus Enhanced with Graphing Utilities by Sullivan and Sullivan. This is a custom text which is less expensive than the hard bound text used previously. However, if you have a hard bound text, you may use it.

The syllabus contains the formulas which will be used for calculating your course grade and important makeup policies.

2. Your recitation class will not meet next Monday (it is Labor Day – a school holiday). Beginning September 12, you can expect a quiz or test in recitation each Monday. All recitation classes meet in either 113 or 114 HTL.

IMPORTANT: Check your class schedule for conflicts

with your recitation class. You must attend the recitation section

for which you are registered. You may change sections only during DROP/ADD.

3. Before next lecture class on Thursday: Go to the MAC1105 homepage and download the Course

Objectives and Suggested Homework and Supplemental Problems.

Read section A5 and begin working the suggested problems and supplemental problems from section A5.

Work the on-line Practice Last Lecture and the Practice - Orientation practice quizzes. (Click the “Homework” button on the course menu, and “Getting Started with eGrade” for more information.)

If you have not already done so, get a garnet account from ACNS.

Read your syllabus carefully. It contains a lot of information which is important to your success in this course.

Mark Test and ReTest dates on your calendar.

4. By September 8 (next Thursday):

Purchase and register a PRS (Personal Response System) transmitter. See the link on my home page at http://www.math.fsu.edu/~kutter for step-by-step instructions on how to register your transmitter.

If you purchase a new textbook, a PRS rebate coupon should be included in the shrink wrap.

I will use the PRS transmitters to take attendance and for short “quizzes” to gage the need for further lecture examples before moving on to new material.

See the back of the Additional Information sheet for information on how PRS points will be used.
