Course content
The workshop is organized around a large set of math problems about 311 content.
In workshop, students work together on some of these problems.
The graded components of the workshop are the following.
Outside of class
- Eightish mini assignments (~1 hour each)
- About half of these are correcting problems you got wrong in 311, and the other half are our own assignments (e.g. a reading and a couple questions about it).
- A reflection on each 311 homework (~30 minutes each)
In class
- Approximately 6 “quick checks,” mini quizzes at the beginning of class
- Two tests in class.
Extra credit
- We will hold two study sessions outside of class, one before the 311 midterm and one before the 311 final. Each will count as extra credit.
Accomodations
We want this course to be approachable and accessible by all 311
students. Let the instructor know if you require accommodations for
disability, mental health, religious activity, or matters of conscience.
If any incident occurs that challenges our commitment to a supportive
and inclusive environment, please let the instructor know so the issue
can be addressed.
Late Work
Late work is not accepted unless under special circumstances. If you
need to turn in an assignment late under special circumstances,
please email the instructor to schedule a meeting PRIOR to when the
assignment is due in which we can discuss and determine if extra
time is needed.
