| ANN: You will see Chapter O (Orientation) Homework due on MML on Tuesday, Aug. 30. It is an introductory assignment that will help familiarize you with the interface of MML. In class, I introduced the class by referring to the syllabus and mentioning a few extra tidbits. Read it and make sure you understand what is expected of you. I referenced the Math Resource Center which is our tutoring location and gave out a handout with their information. They are available online and in-person this semester. I talked about MyMathLab (MML) which is described on the syllabus. I even did a brief demonstration to show it off and get you started. You should thoroughly read the syllabus and get MML set up before next class when we will start the math! | |

ANN: You will see Chapter O (Orientation) Homework due on MML on Tuesday, Aug. 30. It is an introductory assignment that will help familiarize you with the interface of MML. ANN: I reminded students of my late policy. You are allowed to do MML homework late but problems done after the due date are worth only 50% of the original credit. Problems done before the due date are counted fully even if you do some problems in an assignment late. Read the syllabus for details on the late policy. In class, we started the Class Notes for 1.1, getting through page 4. The MML homework for 1.1 will not be due this upcoming Tuesday because we did not finish the Notes but you should start it to give yourself a leg up on it. It will be due the following Tuesday, Sep. 6. |
| ANN: You will see Chapter O (Orientation) Homework due on MML tonight at midnight. In class, we finished the Class Notes for 1.1. You should work on the MML homework as soon as you can. | |

| I Zoomed class due to illness. We worked on the Class Notes for 13.1. I told students to watch the video for 13.1 Notes posted under Class Notes, skipping the pages that discuss the genetics applications. (Since I made the video, I had changed the Notes.) We then did example 9 in the Notes as this was not covered in the video. Here is the video we made. The 12.3 worksheet will be collected next time. https://lewisclark.zoom.us/rec/share/BEafklsoMX cZ7IpzjGz_B5hi4UYIKQuWD6lzIf3Ef9-xhQbQg6l5DmPYPn2xz6_F.L8ANemir04hO0xuC Passcode: HxD4@a3. |

[Friday, Nov. 18 is the last day to withdraw (grade of W) to avoid a D or F.] I had to cancel class but told students to watch the 13.2 Class Notes video under Class Notes. You should print the Notes so you can follow along. There are some changes I want you to be aware of. I have cut #5 and #8 from the Notes since the video was made. As a result, examples 6, 7, and 9 are still in the Notes but are labeled under different numbers. Also, a Venn diagram on page 3 is no longer asked for. |
