Information on MA 194:

See the common syllabus for the rules concerning MA 194. Consider MA 194 as a purely technical construction. All credit (detailed in the grading section on the common web page) goes toward your grade for MA 114, and the pass/fail grade of MA 194 is solely based on attendance as explained in the common syllabus.


Attendance and Classroom Behavior:

I will take classroom attendance about 20 times randomly throughout the semester. The teaching assistants will take attendance for recitations every time (see policy for MA 194). Your attendance score for your MA 114 grade will be based on the percentage of lectures you attend. See the sections on Grading and on Policies on the common web page.


Email Etiquette:

The best way to get in touch with me is by email. Do not send emails in text message format! A proper email has the following ingredients:

For the sake of professionalism, I suggest to turn off settings that cause your email to say ``sent from my iPhone'' or similar. Most recipients are not interested in commercials at the end of emails (or elsewhere) .
Seeking Help:

If you need help with the course, contact me as soon as possible. Do not wait with seeking help. It is very hard to catch up in a Math course after falling behind. I am happy to help you, but you need to let me know that you need help. See also the section Study Advice and Getting Help in the common syllabus.
