Q2 Consumer Mathematics

This page contains the Consumer Math make-up work assignments from the second quarter. Do not expect to receive any credit whatsoever for completing this work, unless you have made arrangements with Mr. Petto beforehand.

eCM Moodle

Click here (or to the left on the Moodle icon) and find a record of all of the slides and problems as worked out on our Promethean whiteboard from each day of class, and much more! You will need to have your LRC login and password (and on your first visit, you might need an enrollment key from me).

Archival Record:

The first quarter ended on January 22nd, 2010. This page is out-of-date and for reference only.

 

Projects & such

The following assignments should be turned in during class on each indicated day:

Day

-
1/15

Late work will be penalized 10% for each day that it is overdue.

I will announce extra-credit opportunities in class from time-to-time. In many cases you will also find these posted on our weblog, or noted in the slides from that day's class. Look at each one and consider whether you want to give it a try. Every successful extra-credit submission will replace your lowest homework, classwork, or bellwork score. (Extra-credit work has no effect on projects, or quiz scores.)

Make-up work for a day’s absence is due the day following your return to class. If you complete it and turn it in on the first day you return to class, you will receive a 10% scoring bonus. Like other work, it will be penalized 10% for each day that it is overdue.

Oh, and here is a previous version of this page from the first quarter, for your reference.
