Exeter This Week

This week you are working on Exeter page 17.
You do not need to complete problems 2, 12 & 14.
1) You must complete at least problems 1-7 (obviously except #2) by Thursday when we will having Exeter presentations.
2) Bring an empty 1" binder on Thursday so that you can compile past Exeter problems and include a reference index.
3) Quiz on Friday will be on all problems completed.

Exeter Process Changes

This week things are changing with the Exeter process. In general, the weekly total for Exeter problems, whether you are given one page or two, will be 10 points unless you are explicitly told otherwise.
1) You will receive half of your credit for the weekly Exeter problems for completing the problems that are assigned ON TIME. This means that you need to have attempted them and demonstrated that you actually did attempt them.
2) The other half of the credit for Exeter will in from the accuracy of your response on a weekly quiz. The quizzes will mainly occur during the first few minutes of class on Fridays unless you are told otherwise. The problems that you will be accountable for will be told to you when the Exeter page is given to you. The quiz will involve solving only ONE problem assigned at random from the week's Exeter page(s). In order to do well on the quiz, you should study be prepared to demonstrate the solution to all quiz designated problems. We will meet at least once a week to present and discuss pertinent problems.
