All,

With Week 2 wrapping up I hope we are getting into the rhythm of things. By now you should have established a solid schedule with plenty of time for homework and studying. Also, having a regular place can also make things easier. Again I would suggest checking out the library for study space.

A few notes and reminders:

Keeping up with the course material is a priority in this course, which is reflected in our daily quizzes. Do not get behind.

Activities are due before the next exam. Feel free to show me the activity in person, and we will review it quickly. This can be done before class, after class, and/or during office hours.

Our exam is on October 28th. On Monday I will talk about how I make exams, and what they are trying to test.

Next week will be a bit different, as we do not have classes on Friday, October 9th. Activity 3 will take place on Thursday per the course schedule.

If you need to talk to someone, feel free to use the college's Counseling and Health Center. You can call them at 360-992-2614, go to HSC-124, or check out their website. While I might not be your first choice to talk about life's difficulties, I have been where a number of you are. My door is always open.

Some events you might be interested in:

There will be a hypnotist performance on Oct. 7th from 11:30 AM to 12:30 AM in the Gaiser Student Center. I tried to get hypnotized twice, but it didn't work. See if it'll work on you! (Or not.)

On Tuesday, October 6th from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM in GHL213 there will be a Procrastination Workshop. Check it out... Later though, cause you totally have time, right?

On November 13th at 12:00 PM I will give a short talk on betting on horse races through the STEM Seminar Series. I do not support or recommend gambling, but it is an interesting mathematical problem that has many similarities to investing in businesses and stocks. If you want to see what this is about firsthand, Sunday, October 4th will be Opening Day at Portland Meadows. If anything it'll be a nice day to be outside to watch horses run.

If you have any other questions, just let me know through email (rweston@clark.edu), Canvas, or WAMAP. If you are having a WAMAP issue make sure to include a screenshot (Ctrl + PrtScn, then paste into a Word document).

Best,

Mr. Weston
