Welcome to Intermediate Algebra Lab

We are glad you have stopped by our online Math 0373 Lab. Students who are taking Math 0373 are required to attend a one hour a week lab as a part of their course grade. The Math Lab is located in CB107. Currently, students are using http://interactmath.com/asp/wizardframe.htm website to work on their lab assignments.

The Mission

The mission of the Math 0373 labs is to reinforce, through computer-assisted learning and/or hands-on group projects, fundamental algebraic concepts that are essential for student success in Intermediate Algebra and College Algebra.

Lab Policies

1. Be sure you are familiar with the lab policies as outlined by your lab instructor.  Disrupting this lab will result in your being dropped from your Intermediate Algebra class.
2. Attend your lab sessions regularly and punctually, and be prepared to participate. Missing 15 minutes of a lab counts as one absence.
3. Make up missed labs as soon as possible (within 2 weeks for fall and spring and within 1 week for summer).  No labs can be made up after the last lab of the semester (prior to finals week). Remember:  Absences may be made up during regular hours at the Intermediate Algebra Lab, but you will only be allowed to make up 4 of your missed labs.  It is YOUR responsibility to be aware of the number of times you have been absent and of the last day for make-ups.  For further information on attendance policies, speak to your lab instructor.
4. The penalty for failing to make up a missed lab is 4 points off your grade for the course.  For example, if you finish the course with an average of 86 but fail to make up two labs, your course grade will be reduced to 78, dropping your grade from a B to a C.
5. Completion of the Lab Project assignments is mandatory and due no later than the posted and announced deadline.  No make-ups are given.  
6. Any tampering with the settings on the computers will result in an automatic absence.
