Math 189: Math for Civil/Mech 3

Week 10

• Assignment #4 will be due on Tuesday, June 16 Wednesday, June 17.
• The last day of classes, Friday, June 19, is Test Makeup Day. If you've missed a test for any reason, you will automatically be writing that that on this day. If you've written all of the tests and would like to replace your mark on one of them, you must let me know by Wednesday, June 17 which test you'd like to rewrite, either by
  • signing up in class
  • by sending me an email AND receiving confirmation by email
  • seeing me in office hours
  Caution: If you do worse on the second try, it will still replace your mark (though you are allowed to write "Do Not Mark" on your test before handing it in if you decide that you'd prefer to keep the first mark).
