[Narrator]: Welcome to Northern Arizona University. You’ll start classes soon and you are enrolled in Math 125, Pre-Calculus.
I would like to share some exciting news about Math 125. Math 125 takes place in the Lumberjack Mathematics Center.
The Lumberjack Mathematics Center is a student learning space located in the Health and Learning Center.
This learning environment is designed to allow students to learn mathematics through technology.
Two days a week you will meet with your instructor and undergraduate tutor, called a Math Jack, in a classroom and work in groups on mathematics.
Two days a week you’ll be working on mathematics using software called MyMathLab.
MyMathLab has a variety of help tools available. For example, you can watch videos or animations, ask for hints, view examples, or read the text online.
The difference between taking a course in the Lumberjack Mathematics Center and taking a traditional course is the individualized help you receive.
During your class time your instructor and your Math Jack are there to help you work through the content and assigned problems.
You are also required to spend a minimum of two hours per week in the open lab time of the Lumberjack Mathematics Center.
During open lab time there are instructors, graduate students, and your Math Jacks available to help you.
I’m excited that you’re taking Math 125 in the Lumberjack Mathematics Center! I hope you have a great semester!
