Syllabus

Tentative Course Calendar
   
Homework:

Homework will be online using the software MyLabsPlus.  You can access it here: http://iastate.mylabsplus.com 

Your username is your Iowa State e-mail address (including the @iastate.edu)

Your password is the last four digits of your ISU ID number.  Please change this as soon as you can.

To access the homework you will have to use the access code that came with your book.  There is a temporary access code available if you don't have one yet, but it only lasts a short time (two weeks I think).


Quizzes: We will have quizzes approximately every Wednesday.

Note that it will be at a common time with the other sections of Math 140, not at the time based on first meeting




Extra Credit EC_assignment.pdf  Due Dec. 7th (but accepted anytime before)




Think about trying the Problem of the Week  Solving one of these will count instead of the extra credit assignment above if you would like.




Correspondence:  The easiest way to get a hold of me is by e-mail (estervig@iastate.edu).  Please feel free to e-mail anytime. It will help me keep things straight if you write Math 140 in the subject line.
