For the first 5 weeks of the semester, we will be working through the Math Study Skills workbook by Alan Bass. Workbooks are collected at the start of class on Fridays and returned on Mondays.

  • Ch.1-2 due Friday 1/19
    • For Exercise 1, you will need to meet 2 other people in the class. Listing their name is sufficient.
    • For Exercise 5, please read the section "A Java Program" on page 28-29 of your textbook.

  • Ch. 3-4 due Friday 1/26
    • 3 credit hours is the equivalent of one course

  • Ch. 5-6 due Friday 2/2

  • Ch. 7-9 due Friday 2/9
    • Exercise 28 requires you to take notes in class using the two column system. This should probably be done on Wednesday in time to turn in your notebook on Friday.

  • Ch. 10-11 due Friday 2/16
    • Note that we will have a test coming soon! You can use the skills from Chapter 11 to study

All homework and lab assignments should be submitted through Moodle. Homework assignments are due on Mondays.
