• General
  
  • (Dec. 26) Welcome to the Extended Education sections of Math 141 and Math 142! Both courses begin on January 23 and end on May 9. To begin your course, follow the instructions on the Getting Started page. Two items are of particular importance before you begin the course:
    1. Order your textbook as soon as possible.
    2. Begin making arrangements for an exam proctor (see the Proctor Arrangements page for details). Proctor registration will be available on January 23.
    Note: These sections of Math 141 and 142 are primarily for off-campus students. If you are currently in residence at Iowa State University, then I recommend that you switch to one of the on-campus sections instead. However, these sections may be an appropriate choice if you live far from campus or have scheduling problems (in particular, if all of the on-campus sections are closed).
  • (Dec. 26) Registration on the online testing system will be available on January 23.
    
    
• Math 141 Reminders
  • Be sure to check over the details of all of your proctored exams, using the View My Results link on the testing web site. If you find any problems that were marked incorrect due to a trivial syntax error (such as using a comma in place of a semicolon, or misspelling "sqrt"), send me an email with the details (exam #, date, and question #) and I'll take a look at it.
