8/27There are many opportunities for "extra credit" throughout the semester. If you attend any Lynchburg College event just send me an email describing the event in a short paragraph. Anything on campus qualifies: lectures, performances, exhibits, sporting events, or any other student activity. Anything off campus should be something more legitimate, like a lecture, performance, or community service activity. There will be no formal extra credit grade assigned. This is just an excuse for me to bump your grade up at the end of the semester if you are borderline.
9/3PASS Sessions will be Wed and Sun 7-8pm in Hobbs 316.
Justin Johnson is our PASS leader. His office hours in the Math Lab (Tutoring Center Schewel Hall 370) are Tues, Thurs 10am-12pm.
9/5You can get extra help in the Math Lab. No appointment is necessary and most tutors can handle up through Calculus II.
The Math Lab is located in the Tutoring Center in Schewel 370. Math Lab Hours:
Sunday 12pm-4pm
Monday 10am-4pm
Tuesday 10am-3pm

9/10You can earn extra points by finding mistakes in the book. You will need to present the correct solution to me and prove that you understand the solution by answering a few questions. I will give you 1 point on your final course grade for every 5 questions you successfully present. Send me an email to schedule an appointment to present your problems.
