- 04/25/2000: both classes: Executive decision #1: We're going to skip Chapter 8 and Chapte 9 (for the time being) and start Chapter 10. We're going to do 10.1 and 10.5 and come back to 10.2 and 10.3 time permitting. We're omitting 10.4. After Chapter 10 we'll go back to Chapter 8.
- 03/30/2000: TT class: Once again, a revision to the testing schedule. The test will be in the Testing Center beginning Wednesday, 5 April and needs to be COMPLETED by 4pm on Monday, 10 April. That way I can have them graded by Tuesday morning, 11 April. We will review for the exam on Thursday, 6 April. If you are comfortable with the material and don't need any questions answered, you may use classtime on Thursday (6 April) to take the exam. The exam will cover what we have done from 3.6-6.1.
- 02/24/2000: TT class: We agreed today to revise the schedule for the next exam, which is scheduled for next Thursday, March 2, to the following: cover more new material on Tuesday 29 February, review on Thursday 2 March, and put the test in the Testing Center beginning Thursday 2 March and ending Monday 6 March at 8pm. Extra Credit homework is due on Tuesday 7 March after you don't need it anymore. If you want to leave it in my box or give it to me earlier that is okay too.
- 02/23/2000: MW class: We agreed today to revise the schedule for the next exam, which is scheduled for next Wednesday, March 1, to the following: cover more new material on Monday 28 February, review on Wednesday 1 March, and put the test in the Testing Center beginning Thursday 2 March and ending Monday 6 March at 8pm. Extra Credit homework is due on Wednesday 8 March after you don't need it anymore. If you want to leave it in my box or give it to me earlier that is okay too.
- 01/31/2000: Despite technology, despite the washing machine flood, I HAVE prevailed and put this page up!!
Testing Center Policies
- RGC Hours: Monday-Thursday 8am - 8pm, Friday 8am - 5pm, Saturday 9am - 1pm
- You'll need to take your current ACC ID (pick one up at Admissions if you don't have it) and another form of ID (driver's license, passport, etc.; NOT another student ID)
- "Mom" speech: Go to the bathroom and get a drink before you start the exam. Once you start you can't leave until you're finished with the exam.
- I only put exams in the RGC Testing Center unless you make other arrangements with me prior to the start of the exam.
