We completed sections 1.5 and 1.6 today and will start homework discussion over these sections on Monday. (MyLabs for these sections have already been assigned, while section 1.4 is due on Saturday.)
Joysheet 3 is due on Monday. We'll do an in-class joysheet next week over sections 1.5 and 1.6.
Since we finished with chapter 1, we are getting ready to have exam 1 in the week after next. If anyone would like to get a head start on this, look at sample exam 1 on the "scores and docs" page.

Homework discussion for section 1.3 was completed today - its MyLabs are due on Monday. Joysheet 2 was distributed this week, and it is also due on Monday. If you did not receive yours, find it at the link above.
On Monday, we start with section 1.4.

Today, we finished homework discussion in sections JIT 6, 7, 9, 14 and 15. The MyLabs for JIT 6, 7 and 9 are due on Saturday (tomorrow!), and the ones for JIT 14 and 15 on Wednesday. On Tuesday, we continue with discussion of homework for section 1.2.
Today, I distributed our first joysheet. (That's what worksheets will be called in this class: isn't it more inspiring to do a joysheet than a worksheet?) It is due on Thursday. If you didn't get yours and would like to have it before Tuesday, find it at the link above!
Free tutoring information has been updated for the fall semester, check it out!
Have a nice long weekend!

We finished homework discussion in sections JIT 8, 11 and 12. On Monday, we'll discuss sections JIT 17 and 1.1. All of these sections are due on MyLab on Wednesday.
If you haven't signed up for MyLab, make it a priority this weekend. (Six of you haven't signed up yet, see me if you are having trouble connecting.) In Canvas, click on "Course Materials" and follow instructions from there.
Remember that you can always find lecture notes and board images from homework discussion in Canvas/Files.

Welcome to the course! Look around to familiarize yourself with the layout of these webpages. To get to other pages, click on the links in the menu (or drop-down, if viewing on a smartphone). The most often used pages are in the first line of the menu (or the first several choices of the drop-down). "Scores and docs," for example, has all the documents for the course.
Your first exercise is to find the syllabus on these pages and read it. The items there that are typically of greatest interest to students are from "Homework" to "Make-ups."
These pages will get more content as information becomes available. Check back often: useful information is provided in the "home" section (which you are reading), typically updated weekly. For now, here is some information on the textbook, online homework and Canvas.
Textbook and online homework: In this course, you have signed up for "Inclusive Access," which automatically bills you for access to the online homework system and includes the e-book. You can access these materials by clicking on Canvas/Course Materials. If you do not already have a Pearson account, you will need to create it and then link it to your Canvas account.
Canvas: Canvas will only be the repository of class notes and your grades. Information about the course and weekly messages will be posted to this website (also accessible from Canvas). (Why bother with the website outside of Canvas? Two reasons: it's easier to make updates to it, and it stays public. I value this, and you may grow to as well, as a service to future students of this same course.)
Lecture notes: I will distribute the printed notes in class. For future classes, have these with you so that you can follow the lectures in class without having to copy a lot. The filled-in notes written in class are posted on Canvas.
