UPDATE PAGE FROM SPRING 2021
Not everything will be the same but you can get an idea.
POLLS ARE 40% OF GRADE. IF YOU PAY ATTENTION, EASY TO GET THEM RIGHT.
Make sure to sign up for a topic in the Course Journal "Applications of math…" I will keep commenting and grading. Each entry (on a different math concept) gets 5 points. Total is 100 for the semester, but there maybe some extra credit at the end. On Feb 18, I will close the grading for the assignments upto that week. Please don't wait until the 18th. You can do as many as you want, but at least 5 by the 18th.
MANY OF THE CLASS NOTES BELOW CONTAIN JOURNAL ENTRY SUGGESTIONS.
CHECK AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK!!
Started 1/12/2022
Class videos will be posted on Echo360.org. You can get there through Blackboard.
PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS ABOVE AND KEEP UP WITH CLASS.
