I mentioned in workshop that I would recommend some additional algebra problems for those students who I felt were in danger of losing credit. These are the problems I suggest you do. For those who did not recieve an email from me, but still did poorly on the test I recommend you complete this work from the appendix in Moran and hand it in to me on the monday after Thanksgiving.
Read A.1 and then do problems 1,2,3
Read A.2 and then do problems 1,2,3,4,5,6
Read A.3 and then do problems 1,2,4,6,7,8,9,11
Read A.5 and then do problems 1,2,3,4,5,11

Have a good Thanksgiving break.
For those of you who did not do well in the Math test please take the opportunity over the break to make corrections. For those concerned about getting credit in math this quarter or your ability to make progress in math next quarter I strongly recommend that you read the appendix A of Moran over the break and comlete some of the practice problems. After the break I will be posting an assignment from that appendix to be completed by all students who are in danger of losing credit.

In preparation for the first week of classes I'd like all students to complete the algebra inventory at the Washington Math Assessment and Placement (WAMAP) website. This is a series of algebra questions that will help me determine your level of math skills. Go to the site and register as a new student. Then login and enroll in the course with course id: 344 and key: ins. Once enrolled complete the Algebra Inventory. We will talk about this inventory more on the first day of class, but it would be helpful if you could complete it before then.
If you are interested in driving vans on our field trips this year then there is a special Evergreen Vehicle Use Permit Workshop on Wednesday September 26th at 1 pm in Lecture Hall 2.
