     ANNOUNCEMENTS
     

     YOU ARE EXPECTED TO CHECK THE ANNOUNCEMENTS DAILY.
     
   





    









  







    


  1.  Recall:   You should be recording your study times in
your Study Journal daily.   

     If you did not receive a "blue book" from me in which to keep your
journal, let me know.

    


  2.  Does anyone other than university students and university instructors
     use Maple?   (I do not receive compensation from MapleSoft.)

News Article 1 >>
     
    
     See News Article 2 >>

    



    




  3.  I strongly encourage you to work with "study buddies."

    


  4.  You are expected to review your lecture notes before
each lecture. (For example, when I ask specific questions about the
previous lecture, you should be able to answer them without looking at
your notes.)

    


  5. 

You should have all electronic devices (phones, i-whatevers, MP3 players,
ear-buds, etc.) completely turned off and stowed before coming to class.
Recording devices are strictly prohibited. Using electronic
devices during class without my permission may result in their being confiscated
and in academic discipline.


    




  







  6.  If you miss a class, you should obtain copies of the lecture notes from
a classmate.

    





  7.  How much should a college
student study?

    


  8.  How Sufficient Sleep Enhances Learning and
Comprehension.

    














 












ASSIGNMENTS











    


  1.  Review Problems.
October 4

    


  2.  Do all the examples in the first Maple tutorial entitled
     
     Basics.
October 5
     
      
       
    1.  Do not use the shortcut menu buttons in the left
            panel of Maple. Rather, manually type the commands as
            they appear in the Maple examples.
       
    2.  You should work all assigned Maple examples immediately to
             help you prepare for the Maple assignments.
      
       
    3.  There also may be Maple related questions on exams.
    
    

    
  Kettering has made Maple amply available on many PCs throughout the AB.
  It is also accessible from ANYWHERE via the KU Cloud.


    



































Remember that:


    
  
  1.  You are responsible for successfully completing all assigned
       problems in all your courses.
  
  2.  The exams may include problems similar to these assignments and
       lecture examples and may include questions about Maple.
  
  3.  We must maintain a steady pace to cover the material
       that constitutes Math-203. If you have difficulty with a section, be
       sure to see me for help immediately.
  
  4.  No matter how simple a topic appears when you see my examples or read
       the text, you will almost certainly have difficulty completing an
       exam if you do not practice the examples and do the assignments
beforehand.






Tutors are available in the SARC (AB 3-341) and at various other places and times.
