All,

Thank you all for a wonderful term. I know it hasn't always been the easiest, there have been some hard days. However, it is clear to me that you all have learned more about Mathematics, and grown as people. This is what college is about, learning about the world and yourself.

A few reminders for the end of the term:

The Final Exam is Monday, December 7th at 10:00 AM.

Please complete the Course Evaluation at your earliest convenience. It closes on Sunday, December 6th, so please complete it soon.

The Grades in WAMAP contain everything except the Homework assignments that close on Friday, December 11th, and the Final Exam. With the Final Exam being worth 25% of your grade, this means your grade can change drastically based on your current grade in the course. For example, if you have an 80% right now, and score a 50% on the Final Exam, you would earn a 72.5%. This would not be a passing grade for the course, as you would not be able to move on to the next class. Take this as a reminder: study over the weekend.

All Homework is due Friday, December 11th at 11:59 PM. After your Final Exam, I will not be answering any questions about Homework, or any other assignments.

My office hours for next week (12/7-12/11) are:

Monday: 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM, 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM
Tuesday: 9:00 AM - 10:00 PM, 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM
Wednesday: 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Thursday: 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM

My two pieces of advice:

1. Over the break, think about taking a class on Coursera, or another Massively Open Online Course (MOOC) provider. You never know what could spark your interest and inspire a life-long passion.

2. Once you are done with Clark, get as far away as you possibly can. If that means Seattle, great! If that means Peace Corp in Africa, even better! This is one of the few times in your life that you have to travel and see the world.

Again, thank you all. If you have any questions, see me during office hours next week, or email me at rweston@clark.edu.

Best,

Mr. Weston
