Math 122 section 21249, Tentative Spring 2012 CalendarLast Update: Jan. 8, 2012

 

before Tues. class Tuesday before Thur. class Thursday Friday
Dues to difficulties in getting time on computers on the main campus, I have consolidated many SCO activities that would normally be done on different days. You may work on these activities outside of class, on the same day that we introduce related material. This would save our computer lab time to get help with Angel quizzes and extra credits.

    Review for the final exam.

     

    May 3

    final exam

     
    *If you come in to an exam and you haven't earned 80% on the unit quizzes, you will be asked to go to the ARC (where there are Math Tutors available) to finish your quizzes before taking the exam that day. If you do not complete the quizzes in time to take the exam that day, you will need to take a makeup exam. You are only allowed 2 makeup exams in the semester. Please keep up with the homework and quizzes to avoid this hassel.
    **RT stands for Rearranged Text.
    ***COW stands for Computers on Wheels. These are the days that I have requested laptops or we will be in a computer lab.
