Math 301 - Real Analysis - Fall 2001

Guidelines for Submitting Reading Assignments

• You will have a Reading Assignment due at noon every Monday during the semester. The assignments will consist of one or two sections from the text to read for each week, and you should email me the following information:
  1. A one-paragraph outline of the main points of the readings identifying the most important new concepts, techniques, and theorems.
  2. The statement of a single question related to the material studied whose answer is nowhere addressed in the reading.
     (Thanks to Dan King at Sarah Lawerence College for this form of reading questions)
• 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.
• Remember that my email address is tratliff@wheatonma.edu
• In order to receive credit, you must give your message the subject line Math 301 - Due Date - Your Name For example, for the reading assignment for September 10, I would use the subject line Math 301 9/10 Tommy Ratliff
• You should send me email from your account, since you will receive an automatic reply that I have received your reading assignment, if you used the correct subject line. You may not get this message until the morning of class when I check my email in my office.
• If the network is down, you may write out your answers for me on paper and turn it in at the beginning of class.
