Announcements

12/09:

• The portfolios are ready for pick up on Tuesday. The full score is five points. If you have points deducted, it must be due to one or more of the following reasons: (1) Some problems not corrected or fully corrected; (2) Summaries not turned in with HWs; (3) Original HWs missing for no reason; and (4) Poor attendance record.
• I have put quiz 5 in your folders.
• The TA is unable to finish grading HW 11 until next week due to his own busy exam schedule. I have posted the solution keys on the cork board outside my office in case you would like to have a look at it.
