The following assignments are due no later than Thursday, August 18, at 11:59pm. Please submit assignments as you go - you should be working a little each day. Don't wait until Thursday to submit these assignments if you have already completed them. Feedback on each assignment can help you better prepare for quizzes and tests - as well as other assignments.
If any of these assignments are submitted after Thursday, 8/18, the following late penalties will be applied:
- One day (Friday, Saturday, or Sunday) late = 10% penalty
- Two days (Monday) late = 20% penalty
- Three days (Tuesday) late = 30% penalty
Work submitted after Tuesday, 8/23/16, will not receive credit.

The red dot indicates a notification. If you see a red dot on one of the three icons, click on that icon to see more details.
Note Taking 101
If you are struggling with how to take notes while you read, check out the notes guide I provided for Unit 1. It was included in an email, and also posted on the news announcement on Tuesday, 8/9/16. You can find news announcements on the course homepage by scrolling down and looking on the left side under "Classroom Bulletin Board". See some screenshots of parts of the notes guides below. These are optional!
Content Help - Identifying Variables
You have a quiz on identifying variables this week - watch this video as a way to practice! There are also practice quizzes embedded in the notes guide for Unit 1.
Synchronous Session - Wednesday!
The synchronous session will be this week on Wednesday, 8/17, at 5pm! We will briefly go over the content that will be on both quizzes this week (Weds and Fri). I will also take any questions you have regarding content covered so far and assignments that are due on Thursday! Look on the homepage under "Course Information" on the right side to find the link for the office. You will sign in as a guest using your first and last name.
