Errata For the Textbook

There are some mistakes in the textbook that I've found. Let me know if you find others.

Class Meetings and Assignments

The link above takes you to the course calendar for the semester. I'll be updating it as I make new assignments.

Check Grades

The link above takes you to a page where you can find out what grades I have recorded for you so far this semester. It's a good idea to monitor this information regularly so you can catch any mistakes early. The report you get will tell you the date and time when I last updated the information on the web, so don't panic if you don't see your grade for something that I graded more recently than that timestamp.

Course Discussion Forum

You can use the discussion forum to post questions and answers relating to any aspect of the course. You can help each other with homework assignments here, and by making your help public, everyone in the class can contribute suggestions or alternate approaches. That way everyone benefits. I will read the messages posted here and sometimes post my own responses. But in general, the forum is intended as a medium of exchange among students.

Anyone can read the messages on the forum, but you have to register to be able to reply to anything or to post new messages. Please use the same email address you sent me for use in the class mailing list when you register.

To encourage you to use the discussion board, I'm giving 2 points extra credit on your course average if you register on the forum, and an unspecified number of extra credit points if you post questions and/or answer questions on it. (I haven't figured out how many points to award for forum participation yet.
