• You will have a reading assignment for nearly every class meeting. Each assignment will indicate which parts of the section are especially important and which can be skipped.
• Your assignment is to email me three or more questions that you have from the reading. Your questions should be very specific, such as ``On page 5, in the second paragraph, why are the solutions to x=0 the points (0,y,z)'' rather than ``I didn't understand any of it.''
• Your email is due by 5:00pm on the day before class. For example, your questions for Wednesday's class are due by 5:00 on Tuesday. This gives me some time to think about your questions before class.
• You will receive either 0 or 1 on each assignment. If I feel that you have not made a serious effort on an assignment, I'll warn you that you will receive no credit on future assignments that are unsatisfactory.
• You must write your questions in complete sentences.
• Remember that my email address is tratliff.
• In order to receive credit, you must send me email from your account and you must give your message the subject line Math 236 Due Date Your Name For example, for the reading assignment for Friday, I would use the subject line Math 236 9/5 Tommy Ratliff If the network is down, you may write out your answers for me and turn it in at the beginning of class.
