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 (almost always) located on the ANGEL page under `Lessons'.
- Reading assignment submissions will be worth a maximum of 6 points, and will be graded partially 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", unless it is stated or is evident that no explanation is necessary.
- Submit your answers as a unit using the appropriate drop box on ANGEL. The drop boxes are located in a folder under "Lessons."
You must submit your answers by 8:30 a.m. on the date specified for full credit!
- If you have questions about a reading assignment, feel free to talk to me in person or by phone, or you can email them to me at Jonathan.Cox@fredonia.edu.
- I plan to leave the drop boxes open so you can review your answers and (when applicable) my responses for studying purposes. There will eventually be lots of drop boxes. Be careful to put new submissions in the correct drop box!
- 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 be hard pressed to type. 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.)
