OpenLab assignment: Test #2 solutions

Individual assignment due Monday, December 12

Choose one question from Test #2 that you did not earn full credit for. Write a complete solution and share your work on the OpenLab (if you are not able to share a photo of your hand-written work, upload the photo to another platform like Dropbox or Google docs and share the link in your OpenLab post).

If you choose a true/false question or a “give an example of…” question, write complete sentences to explain your thinking.

Test #2 review – practice test and solutions

Group post due Friday, November 17

Individual post due Monday, November 20

This review assignment is similar to the one you completed with your group for Test #1.

You should re-read the detailed instructions at the above link, but here is a reminder of the broad details:

  1. As a group, come up with your own practice test (questions only).
    • You can look at the workbook, textbook, and WeBWorK (as well as Test #1) for inspiration for your questions.
    • The secretary will post the group’s practice test with the post title: Group n Practice Test #2 (where n is your group number), category: Week 12 group post.
  2. After the groups have posted their test questions, each individual student will give themselves a practice test.
    • Set a timer and give yourself the practice test as though it were the real test. You may use your calculator to check your work, but all calculations must be done by hand (use fractions instead of decimals).
    • Post your full solutions on the OpenLab; title Test #2 Review – Group n (where n is the group whose test you took), category: Test #2 Review.

If you or your group’s secretary have trouble posting photos of hand-written work in an OpenLab post (this happens from time to time due to file size limits), you can put them in a Dropbox folder or Google doc and just share the link in your OpenLab post.

MAT 1275 X MAT 2680 Collab

Due Monday, November 20

MAT 1275 students’ instructions

MAT 1275 students, the instructions here are not for you! Do not comment on this post! See the post with your instructions over on the MAT 2680 site here.

MAT 2680 students’ instructions

MAT 2680 students, welcome to the MAT 1275 site! Some of you probably took MAT 1275 at CityTech but for those of you who didn’t: MAT 1275 is CityTech’s College Algebra and Trigonometry course. The students in this class have just finished learning techniques for solving quadratic, rational, and radical equations in one variable and they’re about to learn about graphing linear and quadratic equations in two variables.

So the MAT 1275 students are like past versions of you! They’re a few semesters behind where you are in their math journeys. What advice do you have for them to help them succeed?

  • Maybe you’d like to tell them what skills or material you think is most important from MAT 1275 or any of the other math classes you took before MAT 2680?
  • Maybe you’d like to tell them what you wish they’d learned better from MAT 1275 any of the other math classes you took before MAT 2680?
  • Maybe you’d just like to tell them how you have succeeded in your math classes?
  • Maybe you’d like to tell them something more personal like what your major is, what you like about differential equations, what you liked about Algebra and Trigonometry, or what other math classes you have to take?

Your instructions for this assignment are simple: in the comments below, give the MAT 1275 students some unsolicited advice.

Since you have not commented in this group before, your comments will not appear right away. They have to be approved by the administrator first, but the administrator is me and I’ll approve any advice as long as itis not too inappropriate. Anyone who offers any advice will earn participation credit.
