All,

While this week has been fairly challenging I think all of you can make good progress in understanding the material if you are dedicated and spend time studying the material. Over the weekend I will be preparing the exam objectives for our first exam. For some of you this might present a different way of preparing for an exam, but I will ensure that it is reasonable and fair.

A few notes and reminders:

Some of you may be getting Academic Early Warnings next week. If you receive one I am concerned about you passing the course. You are not in trouble, I still think you are a good person, and I believe you can do well, but you may have to change your study habits to pass the course.

If you were having difficulties with the homework that was due this week, you may want to review the recommended homework in the corresponding sections of the text. The exam will contain questions that ask you to apply your understanding of the course material in new ways. This means that to prepare you should look at different types of questions to expand your understanding.

Our first exam is on October 28th.

Make sure to attempt this week's homework (due next week) over the weekend. Yes, I expect that some of you may need to study over the weekend to complete assignments and to learn the material. As I have said in class, the study of mathematics is bigger than the four walls we meet between.

Make sure to use all resources available, which means each other! The discussion forums in Canvas are pretty barren, but are a good place to connect with other students outside of class.

Do not forget about the Activities. I would highly recommend completing Activities 1 and 2 over the weekend so you don't get too far into the weeds.

A few goings on:

The Student of Color Luncheon is on Tuesday, October 13th at 11:30 am in the Penguin Student Lounge. Everyone is welcome! (I will be there, which is probably not a selling point of the event... I should really rethink that line.)

On Tuesday, October 13th at 1:00 pm in GHL213 there will be a session on Informational Interviews in GHL213. Informational Interviews are a way to ask someone about their profession and determine if their career is a viable option for yourself.

On Thursday, October 15th at 1:00 pm in GHL213 there will be a session titled "Undecided About Your Major?" If you are undecided about your major, go to the session! If you are undecided about going, go to the session! If you are undecided about being undecided about going, I don't know what to say... Go to the session!

If you have any questions feel free to email me at rweston@clark.edu. Please remember that I have a 24-hour response policy, so please do not wait until Monday night to attempt your homework.

Best,

Mr. Weston
