TA's for the rest of the semester:

This year we have introduced something new: a Student Instructor (SI) who can help you understand this course. Your SI is Daniel Burk and he is available Sundays and Wednesdays from 6 to 7 pm in Nursing 124 and Mondays from 8 to 9 pm in Nursing 135. [Labor day weekend excepted.]

The final exam for this course is Tuesday, December 6 at 2pm

Further information on policies and grading can be found here in pdf format.

In particular, note the policy on late homework. This has not changed since the beginning of the semester but some students don't seem to be aware of it. The only exception is that I give leeway for students arriving for class a few minutes late, but no more. If you hand in a homework paper at the end of class, you not only get half credit, but you also risk being marked absent.

For a sample of how the grading system works, click here. It is for a different class but the idea behind it is the same.

Class notes and assignments are listed
here for August and September and
here for October and
here for November and December.

"Math Lab" Tutoring Center

The Math Lab Tutoring Center (not to be confused with the Tuesday computer lab, which is an integral part of Math 141) is a free tutoring service for all 100-level math courses. This help is provided in addition to the help you get from me, the TA, and the Student Instructor (SI). No appointment is necessary.
