Info for week 3 of MA 366
-------------------------

Find my pep-talk video for week 3 at

To make it easier to figure out which problem a
Piazza post refers to, I suggest that we use a
convention like this:

2.3: 18b

in the subject line to identify the problem,
i.e., section of the book, colon, problem number.

Exam 1 will be an open textbook, open course notes,
take-home exam that I will release on Friday,
Sept 18. It will be due on Tuesday, Sept 22 at
10:00 pm in Brightspace as a single PDF or scanned
PDF file. It will cover lessons 1-9. You can see
on the course calendar that Wednesday, Sept 16 is
the suggested day to view my Review lecture for
Exam 1. I will also post review material that week
before the exam.

I noticed that some of the files uploaded as
HWK 1 submissions in Brightspace were rather
large and some were not PDF files. The graders
are trying their best to deal with these files,
but I recommend converting files to single document
PDF files, taking care to control the size of the
file, for best results.

I have enjoyed meeting many of you in my WebEx
office hours! Drop in to let me know how things
are going, even if you don't have questions.
