Prerequisites

Placement into MATH 105.

100-level courses: introductory, lower-division courses primarily for first-year students. Details: Undergraduate Catalog §9.9.

Generative AI in this course

Every syllabus must state one of three levels: Level 1 (AI not permitted for graded work), Level 2 (AI permitted with disclosure for specified tasks), Level 3 (AI permitted broadly with disclosure). Check your section's syllabus in Canvas. Unless it says otherwise, the university default applies: generative AI tools may be used for brainstorming, studying, and feedback on your own drafts, but not to produce work you submit for a grade.

Details: Student Handbook §5.7 and Student Handbook §5.8. See what each AI level allows.

MATH 105 is a multi-section course: many faculty teach sections of it every semester, and the course coordinator works with them on the shared course requirements. Your section's instructor, meeting time, and room are listed in AlkimiHub when you register.

Department chairs make teaching assignments each year (Faculty Handbook §5.1), and every instructor posts the syllabus in Canvas by the first day of classes (Faculty Handbook §5.2).
