Section 2 Introduction to Math 2575
Oki, and welcome to the University of Lethbridge. Our University’s Blackfoot name is Iniskim, meaning Sacred Buffalo Stone. The University of Lethbridge acknowledges and deeply appreciates the Siksikaitsitapii peoples’ connection to their traditional territory. We, as people living and benefiting from Blackfoot Confederacy traditional territory, honour the traditions of people who have cared for this land since time immemorial. We recognize the diverse population of Indigenous Peoples who attend the University of Lethbridge and the contributions these Indigenous Peoples have made in shaping and strengthening the University community in the past, present, and in the future.
Most of your courses, including this one, will be facilitated using the Moodle learning management system. You’ll want to spend time as soon as you can familiarizing yourself with your course Moodle pages, and plan to check each one on a daily basis.

There’s some great general advice for first year students on the U of L website, including links to Academic Advising and advice on study skills from the Student Success Centre. Other resources can be found on the University’s Health and Safety website.

www.uleth.ca/services-for-students/health-safetyMath 2575 will probably look a lot different than your earlier mathematics courses. My goal will be to run a more student-focused course. This means more time spent in class working on problems, discussion with peers, and presenting work. I hope the assessment will feel more student-centred as well.
