Class Cancelled All Week

2007-10-23T15:02:00.000-07:00

According to www.sdsu.edu, class is cancelled through Saturday.

Monday 11 AM class looked at 12.1 #10,20,28,34 and 11.2 #10, 18, and 22 as examples. I highly recommend getting the CH 11 homework done this week so that you can jump into CH 12 when we get back. Feel free to email me with any hw questions.

FAQ: Wiley, Office Hours & Tutoring, Cheat Sheets

2007-10-10T17:21:00.000-07:00

Some questions that have been addressed in class multiple times and are still being asked...

1. "Wiley says I got this problem wrong because I didn't use an * to multiply. Can you give me my point back?"

No. Like I stressed many many times in class, it is your responsibility to email me before your 3rd attempt and I will be happy to help you out. After the 3rd try, the score is final. The importance of using an asterisk has been reiterated several times as well.

2. When/Where are Office Hours & Tutoring?

OH: GMCS 506 MW 2-3:30
Tutoring: GMCS 409 (my hours) M 12-1, F 12-1, 2-3
Other tutoring hrs: see Tutoring Room Schedule

3. Can I use both sides of my paper for a cheat sheet? Can I type it out?

Yes!
