  Some notes about the first week of the quarter:
  • You will complete a worksheet in quiz section on Tuesday of this week. You are responsible for bringing a copy of the worksheet (For this week, get the "Circles and Lines" which is part of week 1) to quiz section. See the "Math 124 materials website" link on the right-hand sidebar for this and all subsequent worksheets (or go to the calendar). Worksheets count toward the "participation" portion of your grade.
  • Your first homework assignment is due at 11:00 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct 3. Log in to Webassign to see this and all subsequent homework assignments. (How To Use Webassign)
  • Once you type in an answer for a particular problem (or part of a problem) on webassign, a submit button appears. You submit one problem (or part of a problem if you like) at a time and your points for that problem are stored as part of your total score. You are allowed 5 attempts at each answer in Webassign (except for T/F and multiple choice questions, for which you are typically allowed one try).
