Are you really ready? Read this carefully before doing anything else!
Make sure you are registered into this course. If you are enrolled at Purdue University North Central (PNC), you can use SOLAR to do this. If you are not enrolled at PNC, you can use the Indiana College Network. Not sure if you are registered? Contact your distance learning coordinator (DLC). Not sure who your DLC is? Contact the PNC DLC, Barb Birchfield.
It is of utmost importance that you contact the instructor; that's me, Dr. Jonathan Kuhn, between Monday, January 12 and Friday, January 16. Let me know you have started the preparations listed here. If you fail to contact me during this time period, I will not permit you to take this internet course. Make sure I have replied to any email you send me or that you immediately reply to any email I send you. If you have not heard from me within 24 hours of sending your email, telephone me.
If you are a local (to PNC) internet student, contact the PNC DLC, Barb Birchfield, to arrange supervised tests with, between Monday, January 12 and Friday, January 16. Ask her what her policies are with regard to taking supervised tests at the Learning Center on the PNC campus. If you are not enrolled at PNC, it is up to you to make sure that your DLC is in communication with the PNC DLC, Barb Birchfield, so that the two DLCs can coordinate when and where your supervised tests will occur.
Create (validate) your WebCT account. Create (validate), then log on to WebCT for this course between Monday, January 12 and Friday, January 16. If you cannot create a WebCT account, look at the instructions first and then, if this fails, contact me immediately. If you fail to create a WebCT account by 4 am (yes, 4am!) (CST), Friday, January 16th, I will not permit you to take this internet course.
Buy A TI-83 Calculator. Buy either the TI-83 (or TI-83 plus, or TI-83 silver edition) calculator.
Buy the text from the PNC bookstore: Calculus and Its Applications (8th Edition). The solution manual is also useful.
Check out both the MA 224 syllabus and the general internet syllabus
Check out frequently asked questions asked by online students.
Check previous course material for previous quizzes, scores, student evaluations and other course material.
If you are anxious to start before the semester begins, download "attendance1.pdf", "attendance2.pdf", ..., "attendance14.pdf" given below and start answering the questions. The homework questions, "hmk1.pdf", ..., "hmk7.pdf" are also given below for you start working on, if you wish. You cannot send me--I will not accept--your answers, though, unless you submit them through WebCT. All answers must be submitted through WebCT; WebCT allows me to not only keep track of the material you submit but also allows me to grade your submissions.
