Announcements:

• Our final exam is scheduled for 8-11am in 008 Kemeny on Friday, November 20th

### Homework Assigments

In Math 13 you have a number of responsibilities, the first of which is being fully aware of the content of the general information page.

In particular, that page contains:

There are web-based homework assignments which are due before each class period, as well as written assignments which are due once a week. Further details are provided both by the above links (but you've looked at those already) as well as below.

### Web-based homework assigments

The daily web-based problems can be accessed via the WeBWorK Login link on the navigation bar at the top of the page.

It is highly recommended that you keep a notebook in which you write up your WeBWorK homework (including your work as well as the answers). Then when you are studying for exams, you will have a record of your work two which to refer.

### Written homework assigments

The weekly written homework assignments will be posted here.

• Written homework should be turned in to the homework boxes outside of Kemeny 105 by 11:15am on the due date.

• Make sure that you show all your work and explain all the steps.
This is good practice for what will be expected on exams.

We also have some technical requirements: Use standard-sized paper that does not have ragged edges from being torn out of a spiral notebook.

Midterm Exam: The midterm exams have been returned to the homework boxes (if you signed the FERPA release). A hist-o-gram of the scores and other statistical data is available here. Everyone should compare their answers with the solutions distributed via a canvas announcement. In particular, you are very welcome to ask how your exam was graded, but only if you have compared your solution to the given solution. A very rough idea of how you are doing in the course can be computed as follows. On canvas, I have given you a grade out of 40 for your first 5 written homeworks and other grade also out of 40 for your first 13 webwork assignments. Adding these scores to you two exam grades gives you a number out of $75 + 125 + 40 +40 =280$. Totals above 210 are doing "A" work. Totals above 163 are doing "B" work. Totals above 140 are doing "C" work. If your total is below 140, we should talk. Wednesday: Study: No new reading assignment Do: Do HWset18 in WeBWorK. This set closees Friday.
