Guidelines for submitting reading assignment answers
- You will have a reading assignment for nearly every class meeting. Each assignment will have approximately three questions that you should be able to answer after you have done the reading.
- It is not expected that you will fully understand everything in a reading assignment. Rather, the idea is to familiarize yourself
with the terminology and definitions of each topic and get a rough knowledge of its basic
concepts before we discuss the topic in class. This prior familiarity should help you to get more out of the in-class presentation and make class go more smoothly and efficiently.
- The reading assignments are found on our official course web page (where you are now, but the link is at the top of the main MATH 210 page). The reading material itself, whether taken from the textbook or one of the additional sources, is located on the ANGEL page under `Lessons'.
- Reading assignment submissions will be worth a maximum of 6 points, and will be graded primarily on completion. However, you need to show serious effort on an assignment in order to attain full credit.
- You must write your answers in complete sentences.
- Every question implicitly ends with "Explain your answer."
- You must submit your answers to me via email by 12:50 p.m. on the date specified!!
- The email address you should send your answers to is 210readingasst@gmail.com. Note this is different from my Fredonia email!
- If you have questions about a reading assignment, you can send them to my usual Fredonia address Jonathan.Cox@fredonia.edu .
- To ensure that your submission is properly credited, use the subject line "RA mm-dd your name", where mm-dd is the date that the assignment is due in month-day format. For example, for the assignment due August 25, I would use subject line
RA 08-25 Jonathan Cox
- If you have technical difficulties in submitting your answers, you may print them or write them out and hand in a paper copy at the beginning of class.
- At times there will be relevant symbols or expressions that you will not be able to type in email. Don't worry, just write out what you want to say in words, or improvise to create the expression as best you can. (This is actually a good way to stretch your brain.)
