Homework 2

I have posted homework 2 here.

It is due this coming Sunday at 11:59 PM.

First Graded Quiz

The first graded quiz will be given on Tuesday next week.

The questions from the graded quiz are taken from the ungraded quizzes of the previous week.

Unless I tell you otherwise, you should expect a graded quiz each week.

The quiz will be available on Gradescope on Tuesday.

The quiz will be available from the Gradescope web site but only for the last 15 minutes of the class.

Once you start the quiz, you will have 15 minutes to finish it.

If you do not take the quiz when it is offered you cannot take it at another time because Gradescope does not permit this.

If you fail to take the quiz but have a valid excuse, send me an email.

Gradescope

In order to take the quiz on Gradescope, you need to sign in to my Gradescope section.

Sometime during the next few days I will enter all your UMB email addresses into Gradescope.

You will receive an email from Gradescope.

What happens next depends on whether you have already registered with Gradescope.

If you are new to Gradescope

If you are already registered with Gradescope

You will find more information about Gradescope here.
