As decided today in class,  Exam 3 has been moved from its original date of Wednesday the 23rd to Friday the 24th of July, in class. Please remember to bring a working Calculator (and extra batteries). All other exam materials will be provided. 

In order to accomodate this change in schedule, HW 11 and HW 12 have had their due dates moved up on the course webpage and in Wiley. Please take a moment to note the earlier due dates for these homeworks.

If you had prior travel plans that will be affected by this change in Exam date, please send me an email as soon as possible and let me know. Students who have travel plans or other valid reasons for missing the Friday Exam will be eligible to take the makeup on August 3rd.

July 13 An error in the Course Grading Policy tab has been fixed to accurately refelct how grades will be calculated for this course. In particular, it no longer states (incorrectly) that the homework score is correlated with the quiz score. These will be graded separately. Please take a moment to review the changes. 

July 9 An error in the Exam Key has been found. The correct answer for problem 9 of the Exam Key should be the fifth answer. The Exam has been regraded and the scores updated in Canvas. 

July 7 Exam 2 has now been graded and the scores uploaded to Canvas. Please take a moment to check and make sure your score has been uploaded properly.

As for Exam 1, in order to help you prepare for the Exam, a new file caled "Exam 2 Outline" will be added shortly to the Files section in Canvas. It will contain a brief overview of the topics covered in Exam 2.

You will have an average of 5 minutes per question on the Exam.
