This week, please

  1. Read online notes 5 and Text Chapter 5
  2. Record your readings from last week on Canvas by Tuesday
  3. Lab 2 is due Tuesday, October 1.  This is a Quiz on Canvas.  You can take as much time as you like; it is open book; but you do have to do it all in one sitting.  Allow about 2 hours for it.
  4. Lab 3 will be due Tuesday, October 8.
  5. Make a good comment in the discussion forum on Canvas by Saturday midnight.  These are pretty easy marks, so please take advantage of them!  And it is a great way to get to know your classmates.  Please do NOT use AI, like ChatGPT.  I want to get to know you and hear your ideas.  Not a computer’s.  A non-personal answer is worth a “0.”
  6. Remember Your midterm exam is Friday, October 25, 6-7:30 pm, on Canvas.  A study guide is here.
