Lessons

WeBWorK

  • Logarithmic Functions – Equations
  • Exponential Functions – Equations (now due 4/7; you can complete problems 1-6 now)

OpenLab

Other

  • Work through this activity on the sine and cosine functions by Sunday, March 31 for an extra participation point. If you sign in using your free Desmos account, you will be able to save your work and return to it.
  • Office hours this week and next week may have to be rescheduled
  • You should have received an email from the math department about a “reflection and support” module in WeBWorK. This is separate from your usual WeBWorK homework and will not impact your overall WeBWorK score, though it’s there to help you with the course material. When you click the link in the email and log in with the information yo were sent, it will take you to a separate WeBWorK section with two sets. Complete both of the sets for five extra participation points (you’ll get the five extra points only if you complete both sets).
    • Activity Demo – open 3/25, Monday, close 5/13, Monday
    • Activity – open 4/29, Monday, close 5/13, Monday
