• There is an error in webassign on #54 assignment 4. I have changed the scoring so that this question is worth 0 points, so you can ignore it.
• In homeworks 3 and beyond there may be some problems that only allow you to input one answer. These are usually multiple choice type questions.
• ROOM CHANGE: Math 308B now meets in CDH135 9:40-10:40am MWF starting Wednesday June 23. Math 308C continues to meet in CDH115 (no change).
• Instructor: Dave Collingwood. C545 Padelford Hall.

• Office Hours: noon-2:00pm on Homework due day, EXCEPT noon-1:00pm on July 9.
• What you need to purchase:
  • Textbook: Elementary Linear Algebra by Larson and Falvo, 6th Edition.
  • Webassign access code: This comes bundled with the book you purchase at the bookstore.
• How to use Webassign.
• All homework is accessible and turned in online using WebAssign.
• Midterm: Monday, July 26.
• Final Exam: Friday, August 20.
• Grading: I compute a percentage score for your performance in the class based on this weighting breakdown.
  • Homework = 30%
  • Midterm = 35%
  • Final Exam = 35%
• No late homework accepted. Total of 6 homeworks. To compute your total homework percentage, I take 90% of the total possible points as a perfect homework score. For example, if your cumulative homework score is 400 and there are 500 total homework points, your homework percentage is 400/450=89%, etc. In addition, your total homework percentage can't exceed 100%; i.e. your score is the MINIMUM of the previous calculation and 100%.
• You must take the final exam to receive a grade in the course.
• Class Schedule listed below, subject to change as we progress. Exam dates will NOT change. Homework "due dates" may change to a later date, but never sooner, depending on class pacing.
