Recap of class today

Hope class went okay for everyone today. I failed to mention so many things so that's what this handy blog is for so make sure you read all the posts.

Most of the questions students had after class seemed to be regarding the syllabus, homework, tests, etc. These questions will probably be cleared up after labs today. Take time to read through the syllabus. If you lose it and want an extra copy ask your TA or stop by my office 174 TMCB.

Homework & Quizzes--You can't start the homework until you buy your access code (see previous post about book). Once you receive your code then go to byu.mylabsplus.com to log in. In order to log in you use your net id as your username and your byu ID (the numbers) for your password. You can change this afterwards if you'd like.  If you can't access the homework then you need to email Jim Logan.

Email Jim Logan -- loganj@math.byu.edu


If you just added you will need to email Jim Logan the following information:
Name,
sec,
net id
byu id,
class that transferred out of (if applicable)

Homework & Quiz continued: 
You should now work on 3.5 homework and take the 3.5 quiz. Your TAs will keep the quizzes open for this week but generally you will need a password to access the quizzes. This password will only be given in your lab sessions so you must attend in order to get access to the quizzes.
Feel free to use the websites I showed you in class. www.geogebra.og and www.wolframalpha.com

Practice Tests
Today I distributed a practice test for Test 1. There are 4 practice tests available at the www.math.byu.edu website. Be sure to go to Math 110. It's a good idea to think about your exam since it's next week.

Calculators
You don't need a fancy calculator for this course. You can't use a calculator on any of the exams. You can just use the websites I told you about or the calculator on your desktop.

Warmups for 4.1
Remember to check out the warmups and go through it. This will help us have a more meaningful discussion during class on thursday.

More to come!! Are you excited?
