Bank error in your favor.

A student discovered a glaring error on Exam 1: It was supposed to be a 48 point test!! I can hardly believe it! As plain as the face on your nose, yet I still missed it.

So to make up for the error, everybody gets +8 points, just like in Monopoly, when you get the "Bank error in your favor. Collect $50" card. Mentally add that +8 to the Exam 1 score from last Thursday, and that'll be your new and improved score. The extra 8 points are now in your Grades page as Monopoly +8.

Mini-quiz B is UP.

I made a few modifications to mini-quiz B, and it is ready for your study now.

Participation points UP

I just racked up your "participation points" from mini-quiz A. Look in your Grades page.

If you missed today's deadline, you will be able to use the mini-quiz to study with, but you won't get the points.

I will publish Learning Module B maybe on Friday afternoon or Saturday AM.

Syllabus, textbook, grades etc.

The exam schedule is already up, and now the full syllabus is activated. It shows you the schedule of the various point-earning events for the semester:

1. exams
2. participation points from mini-quizzes

Also, the grade scales and various other instructions are there.

Note: Because there is a lot of turnover of enrollment during the first week, the actual work due this week is light: the Getting Started module.
