Group Project Assessment

Please use the link below to assess your group members' (and your own) contributions to the group project.  You must be logged in to your missouri western account to see the survey below. Alternatively you may use this link to fill out the survey https://docs.google.com/a/missouriwestern.edu/forms/d/14EVQT92Uwj6xqMrTsu26GWVO6INSiLAVqs98INUimj0/viewform?usp=fb_send_twt. This survey must be filled out by Friday, April 22 to count towards your grade.  Not every group has the same number of members, so you may leave blank any slots that are extra for your group.  Just click next to get to the end so that you may submit your answers.

Group Presentations - Week 13

Your group presentations are scheduled for in class this week.  Your group assignments are posted on the blog - you have been assigned to present either Tuesday or Thursday.  Your (typed) final project is due in class on Thursday.  The guidelines for the final project are posted on the blog and in your google drive folders.  You have also received an email with the guidelines attached.

Many of you have struggled with typing mathematics in your project drafts.  I have uploaded a small example to the blog to show you how to use Microsoft Word to type equations.  I have also uploaded a document explaining how to write mathematics in full sentences.  

I will be sending a separate email with a link to a google form to evaluate your group members' contributions.  Please fill out the form when you receive it. 

Finally, I will reopen the WebWork homework this week.  It will remain open until April 30.  You may go back and complete any assignments that you missed throughout the semester.  I would strongly encourage you to do this, not only to bring up your homework grades, but also to prepare for the final exam. 

Baby Boy McCune

Kieran Mark McCune arrived April 11, 2016, weighing in at 7 lbs, 11oz and measuring 20 inches long.  Baby and mom are doing well.

Financial Math - Week 12

Remember that I will be out on maternity leave the rest of the semester.  Dr. Rice or Dr. Waters will be filling in as your sub.  Your Financial Math exam is scheduled on Thursday, April 14.  The review for the exam can be found on the right side of the blog; please make sure you have it printed out to discuss in class on Tuesday.

Your last draft of objectives for the group project are due on Tuesday, April 12.  These need to be typed and submitted in your google drive folders.  I will give you feedback on them as quickly as possible.

Good luck on the exam this week!

Financial Math - Week 11

This week we are finishing up our discussion of financial math with amortized loans.  We will be talking about how to refinance a loan and what effect paying ahead on a loan has on your loan.  The formulas for these two problems are a little more complicated than the other formulas we have used thus far this semester, so you'll want to be sure to spend extra time working the homework and sample problems over this material.

Don't forget that next week you will have an exam over financial math.  The exam review is available in the links on the right side of the screen.

Also, don't forget that your final presentations of your group project will be given in class the week of April 19-21.
