mat267 class cancelled today

All,
1) I'm not feeling well today. I was hoping to pull myself together for class by this afternoon, but it doesn't look like it's going to happen.  Sorry, and I plan to be back in action on Thursday.
2) It's looking like we won't have the machinery to do the midterm until next week, so figure the exam will be a week from Thursday.

12.1,12.2, 12.3 homework due date rescheduled

In this particular instance, since your exam on Thursday is postponed, there's no reason not to reschedule the homework due date until next Friday.

As a general principal though, I'm fine with the idea that you have to finish any homework for material you will be tested on before you have the test. You can expect to see that in the future, in the absence of further unexpected announcements from the University administration.

social distancing

Hi All: In case you hadn't heard, in an effort to prevent the spread of Corona virus ASU is shutting down it's in person classes for at least a couple of weeks. So: we won't be seeing each other on Tuesday. In addition, midterm exam #2 that was scheduled for Thursday March 19 is postponed and will be rescheduled--the best information I now have is that it will be in a couple of weeks, but no promises it could be sooner or later than that. In the meantime, we're supposed to supposed to run our classes online, which begs the following questions (please email me in responses): When I am not coming to classes (either in the dorms or off campus)
1) I have my own laptop--OR--I have access to a computer with admin priveleges: ______(yes) _______(no)
2) I have access to high speed internet _______(yes) _______(no)
3) I have a place to go (home or some other place to stay) _______(yes) _______(no)
4) I have food or the ability to get food _______(yes) _______(no)
 5) In the event that your answer to item (1) is yes, please install the zoom web browser client from this link: https://zoom.us/download ( email me if you have difficulty with this installation)
 best, Tom Taylor
