Is a problem stumping you? Go to our very own Discussion Forum and post your question. I check it at least once per day. If you post a message, I will attempt to post a solution.

These quizzes are for practice only unless you committed to make them count. If after trying quiz #1 you wish to be added to the "for credit" list, just send me an e-mail. The quizzes will then count as 10% of your grade. The in class exams that you actually take for credit will require that you have similar skills. These are also a means of measuring your participation. These are still under development.
Note: These will be made available as the course progresses on the dates below. They will be live for one week..
