Week 3

Reminder:  The last day to withdraw from this course with no record is Monday, June 23, 2025.

Test 1 covering Chapters 1 and 2 will be completed in MyMathLab.  It will be available on Monday  6/23 and is by Friday 6/27 by 5pm, however it is strongly recommended as early as possible during the week so that you can receive technical assistance should you have any problems.

As stated in the syllabus:

• The test must be taken in the Lockdown Browser on PC or Mac, or using the Lockdown extension on a Chromebook.

• You will be allotted two hours to complete the test.

• The test must be completed in a single, uninterrupted, session.  Do not exit the test prior to completion as you will be unable to access it again. 

• The test cannot be retaken and will not be available after the due date.

• Extensions will not be granted. 

• The test is an individual effort and receiving assistance of any kind from any other parties will be considered an act of academic dishonesty. 

• MyMathLab “Help me solve this” and “Show me an example” tools will be disabled.

A study guide is included at the bottom of this page.

This week we will be moving on  to Chapter 3 to begin our study of derivatives.    The four MyMathLab homework assignments are due on Friday 6/27 by 5pm.
