Webassign:
There is a Webassign homework due before EVERY TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY at 10:00am. Webassign can be accessed here. Our class key is wfu 4073 3733.
ALEKS:
You must complete an ALEKS review of precalculus during the first half of the semester. Directions will be provided on the first day of class.
Piazza:
This term we will be using Piazza for class discussion. The system is highly catered to getting you help fast and efficiently from classmates, the TA, and myself. Rather than emailing questions to the teaching staff, I encourage you to post your questions on Piazza.
