Notebooks Success in math (as well as all other endeavors) is greatly improved by following steps prescribed by the instructor. This implies keeping careful notes and writing step-by-step solutions. We are asking that you keep these notes and the problems you work in a notebook, using correct mathematical notation. You will find that this greatly enhances your ALEKS experience and your success in future courses. This notebook will be graded based on organization and completion/content. There is a rubric to help you included at end of this syllabus. If you need additional help setting up your notebook, then talk to your instructor.

Communication Expectations Email, an acceptable and appropriate medium for communications, is an official mode of communication. Since “upon sending, it is expected that email will be received and read by the recipient,” students are expected to check their official Boise State University email frequently. Please see .
