Class notes and assignments for January are listed here.
The ones for Februay are listed here,

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

In particular, note the policy on late homework. 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.

"Math Lab" Tutoring Center
The Math Lab Tutoring Center (not to be confused with the Monday computer lab, which is an integral part of Math 142) 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.

The hours have changed from the beginning of the semester--no tutoring between noon and 1pm:

The first day of operation at all locations is Tuesday, January 17--the day after Martin Luther King Day. For more information and any future changes see the Math Lab website.
