Announcements

• 8/24:
  • HW3 will go online on 8/25. It will be due on 9/7 at 8 PM.
  • Quiz 1 on Proof by Induction will be on 8/27, in-class.
  • HW1 is graded.
    • Gradescope does not let me use labels; only numbers.
    • For this reason, I use 4- Outstanding, 3- Proficiency, 2- Progress, 1- Attempted, 0- No Meaningful Attempt.
    • A score of 3/4 on Gradescope does not mean that you earned a 75%. It means you earned a Proficiency, which on a quiz, would be a 100%.
    • Your grade on HW1 is listed on the problem Grade for HW1, on Gradescope.
    • I use a mix of 0-point rubric items and textbox comments for feedback. You might need to click on a specific problem to see any textbox comments.
    • If you did not get an Outstanding, then I left feedback. If you are not seeing it, please follow up with me after class or in office hours.
• 8/19: HW2 will go online on 8/20. It is due on 8/31 at 8 PM.
• 8/10:

  • HW1 will go online on 8/18. It will be due on 8/24 at 8 PM to OAKS.
  • In order to prepare homework, you will need a tool to convert LaTeX source files into PDFs. I use MikTeX on my local machine (Windows). Overleaf is an online option; note that Overleaf is an interpreter and will sometimes push past compilation errors (this is not a good thing). There are other options-- choose your favorite.
  • Please fill out this Day One survey. It is optional, and is intended to help me get to know you all and plan the course.
• 8/7: Website created.
