D2L (Desire 2 Learn) is the university’s selected Learning Management System (LMS). Simply put, D2L is the hub of your class (whether it is an in-person or asynchronous online class). It is a course site that houses announcements, calendars, course documents (syllabus, worksheets, class notes…), but also links out to online homework platforms and other third-party tools that we use in our classes.
The College of Science requires that all courses housed under CoS use D2L, specifically to:

Top Hat is the university’s selected student engagement platform. Known most for its polling abilities for in-class use, Top Hat can also be used for attendance, quizzes/exams, as well as asynchronous responses from students. Top Hat replaces the Turning Point Clickers as the university's student response system.
Top Hat access must be "turned on" for your D2L site. Use the form linked below to request access.

Instructors are required to hold office hours for students. The following should be observed:
Instructions for posting your Office Hours on MathInfo
If a student is unable to see you at the posted times, you should make yourself available to the student by appointment.
Tenured/tenure-track faculty may count one hour spent in our tutoring room toward required office hours.
University Tutoring - Tutoring for most lower-level courses (Math 129 and below) is offered through the Think Tank, a University-supported tutoring center
MATH 129 and above - Upper division tutoring for Math 129 and above is offered through the department.
If you are teaching MATH 129 or a higher undergraduate class this term you must sign up for a tutoring hour. (Instructors of Math 254 and 263 tutor in their own office hours and are not expected to sign up here. GTAs will get a separate email if they are required to tutor.)
How to sign up for tutoring hours:
Current tutoring room schedules are available at: http://math.arizona.edu/academics/tutoring/
Scanning and Copying Services
The Academic Services Office (Math 108) provides scanning and photocopy services for research, instruction, and administrative purposes.
Due to the large volume of copying and scanning requests, please submit all requests at least 24 hours in advance. (For emergency exceptions, please call 520-621-2682 or come to room 108.)
In general, all course materials should be posted in D2L, rather than being photocopied. If you regularly use handouts in your class and want students to have paper copies, please submit a class notes packet to FastCopy at the beginning of the semester.
Copies from an electronic doc - To request copies from the Math department, complete the Copy Request Form The copies will be placed in your mailbox, and we will e-mail you.
Copies from a paper doc - If the original is on paper, complete a pink paper "Work Request Form" (available in the Academic Services Office, Math 108). The copies will be placed in your mailbox.
Other Copiers - It is always best to have documents printed in Math 108. However, sometimes you just need a single copy to edit, or to take to a meeting. For very small jobs, there are printers available in Math 401N and ENR2 3rd floor lobby. These printers have quotas though, so beware--a two-sided document counts as 2 copies! For more details, see this article about the Math 401N/ENR2 printers.
Gradescope Scanning - There are two Gradescope scanners in Math 108. Please scan your documents yourself and complete the Gradescope scan log. The office staff will share that file with you electronically and email you.
Other scanning - Complete a pink paper "Work Request Form" (available in the Academic Services Office, Math 108). The scanned document will be e-mailed to you, and the original placed in your mailbox.
Repair/maintenance requests can be reporting using the following channels.
Math Controlled spaces (Math Building, MTL, ENR2)
All other University spaces
For reference, the University assigns numbers to its buildings throughout campus. Our buildings and numbers are as follows:
The Math Department has a variety of rooms available for classes, seminars, or meetings. Please see this spreadsheet for a list of rooms and facilities. To reserve a Math room for your event, use the Room Reservation Request Form http://math.arizona.edu/services/rooms/request
We use Centrally Scheduled Classrooms for many of our Math courses, and for Common Final Exams.
You can find a current seating layout for most centrally scheduled classrooms at https://ctsrooms.arizona.edu/
We encourage you to try out the equipment in a room prior to teaching there. Email UITS-CTS@email.arizona.edu to make an appointment.
To reserve a centrally scheduled room, or a Math room, please use the Room Request Form.

Please register your bike with U of A Parking & Transportation. We cannot stress enough the importance of this. They can help return your bike if it is ever stolen, on OR off campus!
By University Parking & Transportation's rules, "Bicycles shall not be parked or stored in any University building (e.g. offices, residence halls, classrooms, or parking structures without a bicycle storage facility)." It causes fire and safety hazards to have them stashed in your office or in our narrow hallways, potentially blocking doors and a clear exit from the building if necessary.
There are plenty of bike parking fixtures across campus. If you have a high-end bike, are worried about the security of your bike, or you forgot your bike lock one day, you have some options:
For more information regarding Bike Rules and Guidelines, please read the Bicycle Parking & Traffic Regulations guide.
In Summer 2018 the ENR2 conference room S375 was converted to a Zoom Room, with the capability of having a video conference with members participating remotely. To reserve the room, please use the Rooms Request Form. The room is equipped with a large monitor hanging on the wall, a wide-angle camera below the monitor to capture all participants in the room, a microphone, and a central console for use with Zoom, as well as a speaker conference phone for a group conference call (not used with Zoom)..
The most obvious change is that there is now an iPad on the table in S375. This iPad serves as the main console for the meeting in Zoom. This is where you enter your meeting ID, and can manage the participants or send invites.
Next to the iPad is a sheet of instructions. Zoom is simple to use, and simple to connect a computer for presentation.
There is a microphone in the center of the table. It can pick up everyone in the room. It can also pick up computer audio which leads to mega-feedback if the meeting audio is also played through your computer without earbuds! (The same can be true if you have the meeting pulled up on a mobile device in that room.) The microphone is sensitive!
If you have any questions or concerns, please email system@math.arizona.edu.
If you would like to walk through the steps of connecting via Zoom
before your meeting, please schedule a time with Cheryl Ekstrom, ekstrom@math.arizona.edu.

We are looking for instructors (Calculus I and above) who are
interested in mentoring and developing the teaching skills of an
undergraduate teaching assistant. It is important that the mentors
provide their UTA with a robust (teaching) experience by giving them
many diverse opportunities to work with the course and interact with
students. Mentors should have brief regular meetings with their UTA to
keep the lines of communication open, and allow for the UTA to ask
questions about their experience (we suggest weekly meetings). More
information about the UTA Program for Math Majors can be found at http://math.arizona.edu/academics/undergrads/opportunities/utas.
If you are interested in mentoring a UTA, please fill in the on-line form at this link:

The U of A Office of Instruction and Assessment (OIA) offers workshops and mini-courses for instructional professional development. See the current schedule of workshops and classes at http://oia.arizona.edu/content/8 .
The U of A Office of Instruction and Assessment (OIA) offers a 10-unit graduate program consisting of a series of courses that provide foundational information and help develop the competencies necessary to teach effectively in higher education. The courses are known for their enriching collegial atmosphere where learning about learner-centered theories and instructional strategies guide students' development as reflective and effective professional educators. Through an approach focusing on theory into practice post-baccalaureate students, including post-baccalaureate staff and faculty, are prepared to become outstanding teaching professionals. For more information, see: http://cct.oia.arizona.edu/
International students should be enrolled full-time and cannot have an excess of online courses or they will jeopardize their immigration status. Hybrid courses are counted as in-person units.
Student behavior is guided by two major policies at the University of Arizona: The Code of Academic Integrity and the Student Code of Conduct. Potential violations of either of these codes must be taken seriously and procedure must be followed. See the following links for more information on the codes, and the procedures for each.
Integrity and ethical behavior are expected of every student in all academic work. This Academic Integrity principle stands for honesty in all class work, and ethical conduct in all labs and clinical assignments.
The aim of education is the intellectual, personal, social, and ethical development of the individual. The educational process is ideally conducted in an environment that encourages reasoned discourse, intellectual honesty, openness to constructive change, and respect for the rights of all individuals. Self -discipline and a respect for the rights of others in the university community are necessary for the fulfillment of such goals. The Student Code of Conduct is designed to promote this environment at each of the state universities.
Information for Instructors
Students are responsible to inform themselves of University policies regarding the Code of Academic Integrity.
Students found to be in violation of the Code are subject to penalties
ranging from a loss of credit for work involved to a grade of E in the
course, and possibly risk suspension or probation.
Suppose you suspect a violation to the code of academic integrity. The short-short version of the procedure is:
The following links have been created to assist instructors who suspect a violation of the Code.
Information for Instructors
Students are responsible to inform themselves of University policies regarding the Code of Conduct. The following links have been created to assist instructors who suspect a violation of the Code.
