- Start
building your personal Math 120 Reference Book! Get a bound notebook
with grid (graph) paper in it. Make a title page with your name and
contact information, set up a table of contents, and begin some
entries (number the pages, with page #1 being the first page with
information on it, after leaving a few pages blank for the table of
contents to grow into).
- Bring
your Reference Book to the second class meeting on Friday and
show me your title page, toc, and beginning page.
-
Throughout the semester, you should enter important information
in your Reference Book, such as definitions, procedures, key
examples, explanations that make sense to you, diagrams --
ANYTHING that you anticipate will be USEFUL to you as we proceed
in this course ... and beyond! This is FOR YOU. In particular,
your Reference Book should serve as a very useful study guide
for quizzes and exams. (Note, however, that your Reference Book
is not a substitute for class notes. In general, your Reference
Book should be much more concise and organized than your class
notes, which normally contain everything that we do in class.)
- Each time
we have an examination, I will collect your Reference Book and
assign it a grade. In addition, although the final examination
is closed book and closed notes, you will be allowed to use your
Reference Book on the final exam.
- Be sure to
read and follow the
homework guidelines.
