If you need a handout we did in class...

I was really sad I could not upload any word or excel file in this blog, so I created an account in another website so that I could share some files with you. Even though you'll be able to download from this website, please do not lose the papers given in class. You have to be responsible. The purpose of sharing files here is more for those who were absent or needed some extra exercises to practice.

Good luck and let me know if you want me to upload any particular file on this website!!!

Reminder about homework policy

Just a reminder to everyone about the homework policy.

If it's a homework we correct in class, you cannot turn in late. So, please do your homework by the day you are supposed to. I want you guys to try. Do your best. Never give up!!!

If you have any questions, come and talk to me before A1 or after A4. I would be very happy to help you!!!!

We only have 6 more weeks of classes. Good luck!!
