Graded assignments, not including
homework exercises to be turned in for a grade, will be posted as they are announced during class. A
description, point value, due date, and information about how to turn in
the assignment will be posted for each assignment. Please be careful
to follow the instructions for the assignment so that the materials that
you turn in will be in the proper format, turned in using the proper
method, and turned in on time. Please make a habit of checking this
page frequently to look for
 assignments.
-
Format: Formats for assignments included paper,
email, MS Word document (a file with extension doc), an HTML file (a
file with extension html or htm), or a software specific file.
Assignments turned in using formats other than those described with
the assignment will not be graded and will earn a grade of zero (0).
For example, if for the assignment you must turn in a MS Word document
(file with an extension doc) you turn in the assignment using a rich
text format (file with an extension rtf) or a text fie (a file with
extension txt) then you will earn a grade of zero (0).
-
Method: Methods for turning in assignments include turning
in the assignment on paper or on CD during
class, in an email, as an attachment to an email, or using the
Blackboard Assignment feature. Assignments turned in using
methods other than the one described with the assignment will not be
graded and will earn a grade of zero (0).
-
Paper
assignments having more than one (1) page must be stapled at
the top left. For on-paper assignments, please write your full name at the top left-hand corner of the page.
Do not write the instructor's name on the assignment, and do not
include a cover page. For on-paper assignments, the due date
is the date on which the assignment will be collected; on-paper
assignments will be collected at the beginning of class. You
may not turn in on-paper assignments prior to the due date/time
unless stated with the assignment information.
-
For assignments to be turned in on CD, the
CD must be in a case and your name must be clearly written on the CD.
Carefully check the CD on several computers other than the one(s) on
which you worked to make sure that the assignment files(s) are
properly saved and will open correctly. If your assignment files
on your CD cannot be opened on the instructor's PC's then you will
earn a grade of zero (0) on the assignment.
-
For assignments to be turned in by email,
it is strongly recommended that you Cc or Bcc yourself on the email
that you send. Be careful to use the required subject line as
well as to check the file that you send to make sure that the file
is complete and will open correctly on any computer. If your
assignment file sent by email cannot be opened on the instructor's
PC then you will earn a grade of zero (0) on the assignment.

Deadline: It is your responsibility to make
sure that your assignment is received on time. If you cannot turn in
an assignment yourself then arrange for someone else to deliver the
assignment for you. Late assignments will not be accepted
and will earn a grade of zero (0). All assignments that are to be
turned in during class must be received by the beginning of class
on the due date; assignments will not be accepted for grading after
papers have been collected at the beginning of class on the assignment
due date. You are welcome to turn in assignments early. Assignments
turned in after the deadline as well as those slipped under the
instructor’s office door after the deadline will not be graded and
will earn a grade of zero (0). Since I will bring assignments to my
office immediately after collecting them, any assignments found to
have been slipped under my office door during class will not be graded
– such assignments are late.
-
Questions: If you have any
questions about a graded assignment,
it is important to ask your questions so that you will be able to
understand the assignment. By asking your questions, you will
help yourself to be able to do the assignment correctly, using the
appropriate format, to turn in the assignment using the designated
method, and to meet the assignment deadline.
Please remember that your questions are important and that there is no such thing as a
stupid question.
The Graded
Assignments are
posted below. To open some assignment files, you may need Adobe
Reader; once you
download
and install Adobe Reader, you will be able to open the files.

Graded Assignments - Assignments are
more involved than homework exercises and may have more than one
(1) part. Some past graded assignments have required an in-class or
an online
presentation with MS PowerPoint slides and/or creation of a web page while
other assignments have involved the use on some of my
Interactive MS Excel
Workbooks; you may have some similar assignments. Assignments,
like all graded homework assignments, will require the use of
appropriate notation and terminology as well as explanations given using
sentences of more than one word. To open some graded
assignment files, you may need Adobe
Reader; once you
download
and install Adobe Reader, you will be able to open the files.

History of
Mathematics Concepts and Mathematicians -- Due: Tuesday, December 9, 2008 by
11:59 PM.
You may begin claiming concepts/mathematicians on Monday, December 1,
2008.
The History of Mathematics assignment is posted on
Blackboard.
Here are some hyperlinks for the Chicago Style Manual online; you
will use the Chicago Style for all references, both the footnotes
and the bibliography.
(I thought that you might like to have several so that you would have
access to more examples and more information about the Chicago Style.)
You will find these web sites to be helpful since your research will
necessitate the use of a bibliography (not a works cited) as well as footnotes.

Blackboard. Please carefully read the requirements of this
assignment.
Top of Page Please remember that
your questions are important to me, that I want to help you to do
well in the course, and that there is no such thing as a
stupid question.
