Pairs of students can exchange times. Simply send an email with both students' names and NetIDs to math272@mast.queensu.ca
Exchanged can be up until midnight on Sunday Apr 15th. (Exam dates are Tue Apr 17 and Wed Apr 18.)
April Exam Feb 17, 2012
Students will write the April Exam for MATH 272 on either Tue Apr 17th or Wed Apr 18th. The exam is held in the JEFF labs, so we will use four exam times to allow all students to write.
- You can find your Exam Time now on Moodle under "Grades" ("Final Exam Time")
- The initial assignment of students to times was random.
- You may exchange your time with another student: simply email math272@mast.queensu.ca to let me know, including both of your NetIDs in the message.
More information about the exam is available under the
Final Exam link to the left.
Online Labs Feb 6, 2012
The links to the next online labs will be kept up-to-date on the Tutorials/Labs/Help page.
Change to Lab Schedule Jan 27, 2012
We are changing the lab schedule and format for two of the labs, to make the timing more helpful for students preparing for their tests. The labs will now be:
| Monday Evening | 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM | Online: |
| Wednesday | 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM | JEFF 155 (no change) |
| Wednesday Evening | 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM | Online |
You can view the updated class schedule under the Tutorials/Labs/Help link.
Notes about the online labs:
- When logging into the online labs and they request your name, you can simply use your first name; this will be used as your screen name during the lab.
- Labs are meant for drop-in help. Having specific questions will make the session more productive for you.
- They be accessed from anywhere. You do not need to be in the JEFF labs to participate.
- Doing the labs online is an experiment in this course. Any comments or suggestions about the process are welcome.

The notes for the Week 2 lectures have been posted under
the

Test Group Assignments Jan 9, 2012

- Find out which group you are in using the "Grades" section in Moodle.
- The full schedule of tests for the term, including the material covered in each test, is also posted under the "Lab Tests" link.
PDF Annotation Jan 9, 2012
A student today asked about ways to add notes to incomplete lecture PDF files that will be posted during the term; this would allow you to do both MATLAB coding and take notes using your laptop during the lectures.
Commercial software like Adobe Professional will do this, but a free online option for those interested is offered through PDF Escape. It allows you to annotate PDFs with text and other basic tools, and then download the results.
If you have any other suggestions for tools that students in the
class can use, please let me know.
