Hit Counter

 

The reward of a thing well done is to have done it.

 - Jonas Salk

 

This course uses WebCT Vista.

You must make sure you know how to use it.  You will have an on-line quiz using WebCT almost every week.

 

Use the Quiz 00 to make sure you know how to use WebCT.  Be sure you SUBMIT the quiz before you exit. 

If you have Special Needs

Make sure I know about it.  Give me your forms early.  Work due before you do your paperwork can't be made up.

 

Grading of quizzes

 

Quizzes are graded automatically.  Usually, you can take a quiz 3 to 5 times and the average score counts.  Sometimes, like on review quizzes, you can take it more often and the high score counts.

 

Pay attention to the time limits.  If you open a quiz, the clock keeps running, even if you close the quiz.

 

 

 

Upcoming due dates:

 

Tuesday, September 12 - WebCT Quiz 00 due.  Take it as many times as you like.  High score counts.

 

Thursday, September 14 - WebCT Quiz 01 due (on chapter 1)  Take it up to five times.  Average score counts.

 

Thursday, September 21 - WebCT Quiz 02 due (on chapter 2)  Take it up to three times.  Average score counts.

 

Tuesday, September 26 - do Problem Set A for Chapter 3

 

Thursday, September 28 - WebCT Quiz 03 due (on chapter 3 - eliminating possibilities)

Tuesday, October 3 - WebCT Quiz 04 formerly due today (chapter 4 - Matrix logic) is postponed to Thursday, October 5.  Will be posted Tuesday evening.

 

Thursday, October 5 - In class, on paper test - Chapters 1-4

 

Tests will be returned on Tuesday, October 10.  There were three versions of the test.  The third version (problems 21 to 30) turned out to be slightly harder than the other two, so people who had that version get a 5 point bonus to make up the difference.
