MATH 151-540 -- MORE ANNOUNCEMENTS


1.  Gosh, here I thought you were all hard at work on the 
automated homework for Weeks 2 through 4, and now I find out that 
it hasn't been there.  I'm sorry, that was the result of 
miscommunication between Dr. Epstein and me.  She has now put 
those three assignments into our list, with later due dates than 
the other M. 151 sections had.  However, because the assignments 
refer to this week's test, the deadline is still imminent (this 
Wednesday)!

2.  By now you should have received an invitation to take an 
anonymous survey about this web-based course.  Please do it.  
This is your chance to give frank suggestions about how to 
improve the system.  (Not that all of your wishes can be 
accommodated, of course.)  There is a space for written comments 
in addition to multiple-choice responses.  (You can wait until 
after the test and this spate of homework, but not long 
thereafter.)

3.  Before the end of this afternoon (Sunday) I expect to have 
the lecture on the chain rule (and trig functions) posted, along 
with a revision of the last example in last week's lecture.  Part 
of this week's lecture duplicates the part taken out of last 
week's, for the sake of posterity (in case I ever teach this way 
again).  I apologize for taking so long to get this right, but 
actually the incident serves the purpose of illustrating several 
good points about the chain rule.

4.  I look forward to meeting you on Thursday evening, and I 
sincerely wish you success on the test.  Remember that 
CALCULATORS ARE NOT ALLOWED, according to a course-wide policy.
