Grades are posted

Hi everyone,

The final exam grades and overall course average as well as letter grade have been posted to Brightspace.

It’s been a pleasure working with you this semester – I wish you the very best in your future studies and all your life adventures!

Best regards,

Prof. Reitz

Pre-Final Grades are posted

Hi everyone,

I have updated the gradebook on Brightspace to include all the WeBWorK and OpenLab Discussion submissions. I also added a new column which will give you your current (pre-final) grade in the class – it includes everything in the class except the final exam:

Overall Pre-Final Exam Grade

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns, and best of luck with your studying!

See you tomorrow,

Prof. Reitz

Love this class? Hate it? Please tell us about it!

Hi everyone,

Please complete your Student Evaluation of Teaching (SET) for this class BY THIS FRIDAY 12/13/24.

This is pretty much the only way that the college knows what you, the students, think of the class. I do receive the anonymous feedback, and I use it to make adjustments when I teach the course again. Your feedback is anonymous and I won’t receive it until next semester. Let me know how you feel!

Go to Brightspace and look for this icon:

If you are a fan of detailed instructions, I’ll put some below 🙂

Best,
Prof. Reitz

Discussion: Advice for the Future

Assignment, due Monday, 12/16/24 (300 words minimum): Imagine that you are invited to speak on the first day of MATH 1575, to give advice to entering students.  Write at least 300 words responding to one or more of the following questions, describing what you would say to the class.

  1. What do you wish that you had been told at the start of this class, to help you succeed?
  2. Choose one topic in the course that is especially challenging. Identify it, and give advice to students trying to master that topic.
  3. What is the most important prior knowledge (not taught in the class) that you need in order to succeed?  Why is it important?

Extra Credit.  Respond to someone else’s comment.  Do you agree? disagree? Have anything to add?

Exam 3 Grades are posted in Brightspace

Hi everyone,

I’ve posted your grades for the third exam in Brightspace. Exams will be returned at the end of class on Monday. (NOTE: it looks like when I imported the grades for exam 3, it may have updated your “Midsemester Grade” as well as a few others — do NOT worry about these for now, they will be adjusted later! Your grades for Exams 1, 2 and 3 should be correct).

All the best,
Prof. Reitz
