  • NEW May 10, 2021, 3pm: I have submitted the final course grades (anonymous sorted list) to the registrar.
    The anonymous sorted grades for the final exam, Final/sorted_grades.txt.
    16 of you received 5% towards your final grade for checking "P" on Moodle in 24 or more of the lectures' attendance.
    The anonymous sorted grades for the combined homeworks scaled to 25%, Homework/sorted_grades.txt. The anonymous sorted grades for Homework 4, Homework/sorted_grades_4.txt.
  • The anonymous sorted grades for the third homework, Homework/sorted_grades_3.txt.
  • The main communication between the class and me will be through Moodle, since your work will be uploaded there. Once you are logged in https://wolfware.ncsu.edu to see your courses, click on the orange "m" to go to the Moodle boiler plate. (Clicking on the title takes you to this page). Individually, you can email me.
  • I will deliver the lectures live from home using the Zoom client https://ncsu.zoom.us (click Download client at bottom of page) on your device (cell phone, laptop, computer).
    The lectures will start on January 19, 8:30am. I will email a Zoom ID to you at the beginning of the lecture, so that you can join the live meeting via this ID. I will also post the ID in the Moodle Lecture 1 title. The website https://ncsu.zoom.us/j/<ID> where <ID> is the ID may work.
    In addition, I will record the lectures and post links to the recordings on Moodle.
  • I will require attendance for credit. To get credit for each lecture, the only thing you have to do is go to Moodle and mark your attendance ``P'' (present). You have until 11:59pm on each day of each lecture to do so for that lecture.
  • The Moodle site has an optional assignment for you posted. This is "Testing how to upload" and consists of a single photo upload. Please try to perform this assignment.
  • My virtual office hours, to be held via Zoom, are listed on my schedule.
  • The course web sites for Spring 2020, Spring 2019, Spring 2018, Spring 2017, Spring 2016, Spring 2015, Spring 2012, Spring 2011, Spring 2010, Spring 2009, Spring 2008, Spring 2007 and Spring 2005 may contain old homeworks and anonymous grade lists.
