Math 330 Announcements

12/16/2022     a. I have emailed to you the grades spreadsheet. The last column contains your letter grade, as it will be entered into BU Brain. The "TotRound" column contains the points you actually earned, the "GrandTotal" column, on which your letter grade is based, has a 30 points bonus added to it. Consider it my parting gift.
b. Some of you may be happy to see an additional point added to HW16 I had intended to give you that point after talking you through the problem, but some of you never made it to my office.
c. You will be able to browse my course website for this Fall 2022 semester for quite some time to come, but I will move the link of its home page to http://people.math.binghamton.edu/mfochler/bu-mfx/bu-math-arv/math-330-2022-08/html/math-330-home.html
d. It is time to say good bye. Grading of your homework aside, I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching this semester's class. It was my privilege to have been your instructor. Good luck to all of you!
12/14/2022   IMPORTANT - Final exam on Fri 12/16/2022 - Inclement weather:
It is possible that the final exam cannot be held as scheduled on Fri 12/16/2022, 10:25 AM - 12:25 PM at AM 177 due to the upcoming winter storm.
I will not switch to an online exam. Rather, I will hold the exam at the scheduled time, unless the campus is shut down.
If that happens: There will be directions from the Provost about makeup finals, and I'll let you know asap. You may have to be flexible with your plans to leave for the Holidays.
Stay posted for further announcements!
