All,

With a short break ahead of us, now might be a good time to reflect on where each of us are in the course, and how to get to where we want to be. If you are happy with your performance and subsequent grade, keep doing what you are doing. If you are not happy with your performance and subsequent grade, you need to change your study habits. This could mean forming a study group (the forums in Canvas are a good place to organize these), doing more of the Recommended Homework, reading the textbook (Gasp!), watching instructional videos (Khan Academy may be a good place to start), going to the STEM Tutoring Center, or writing your own notes.

Here are a few resources to help:

A few notes for the week:

All Homework is due December 11th, at 11:59 PM. I will not be answering homework questions after the final exam, so make sure to attempt these assignments soon! If I were you, I would treat all homework assignments as if they had their original due dates (1 week), and if you need a bit more time for a paper, project, or studying for another final exam, use the flexibility I am giving you.

The Final Exam is on December 7th at 10:00 AM in our normal room.

Make sure you know the difference between "Find the definite integral using the limit definition." and "Find the definite integral." You will not get credit for finding an integral without using the limit definition when indicated.

My office hours for next week (11/30 - 12/4) are the same as on the syllabus, but my office hours for Finals Week (12/7 - 12/11) will be modified. Here is the full schedule for my office hours during Finals Week.

Monday: 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM, 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM

Tuesday: 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM, 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM

Wednesday: 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Thursday: 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM

All emails after 5:00 PM today will be responded to by Monday at 10:00 AM. I may check my email through the break, but there is no guarantee that I will respond to your message before Monday. I will be back in town on Saturday afternoon and may have some time to address your messages, but no promises.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving but do not wait until Sunday to start studying.

Best,

Mr. Weston
