Course Webpage • I maintain my own course webpage. • But, we’ll use Blackboard for other things • grades • posting assignments • bulletin board
Schedule • This time I’m serious • I’ll post the schedule tomorrow • Exams • Up-coming homeworks • Topics • The plan is to have it front-loaded (big time)
Lecture Notes • I’ll always post my PowerPoint slides • But, you’ll soon see that they… • Often suck • And, Sometimes we’ll just talk for 50 minutes, no formal lecture. • Speaking of talking..
Class Participation • The more you guys talk (i.e., contribute valuable questions and comments) during lecture, the happier I will be. • I will not take attendance, but I will take a count. • If you guys show up all the time • And, you talk • I will be happy.
Happiness • Q: Why should you care about my happiness? • A: Well, this is a hard course. • Here is what I’m thinking… • 40 students • 5 A’s • 15 B’s • 15 C’s • 5 D or F’s
A Perfect World • If you guys are good students… • Evidence is that you always come to class and contribute, then I gotta think. • 40 students • 12 A’s • 20 B’s • 6 C’s • 2 D’s and F’s
Remaining Agenda • Don’t forget about the homework • Next, I want to talk about something stupid on page 10 of the textbook. • Finally, I need to memorize your names.
