Section 6 Help
Subsection 6.1 Learning Assistant
The Learning Assistant for this class will hold study sessions and help you learn. More information will be shared on BlackBoard and in class.
Subsection 6.2 Allowed resources
For homework assignments, you are encouraged (in fact, expected) to collaborate with your classmates and to ask me questions. Other resources (books, online sources, people outside the class) are highly recommended for clarifying class topics or for enrichment (but not for getting solutions to problems).
You are allowed to use things that you learn from a book, online source, or person outside the class that help you and your classmates to find your own solution for a problem. However, if you read a full solution, so that there's little or nothing left for you and your classmates to figure out, then you may not turn in that solution for credit.
The Mathematics Stack Exchange 1 is a very useful question-and-answer site for undergraduate/graduate level mathematics. You are welcome to browse the Mathematics Stack Exchange and even post questions there. Hopefully it will help you learn and understand the material! However please remember that if you use that site to get a solution to a problem, then you can't turn that solution in for credit. Other helpful websites for basic information include Wikipedia and MathWorld 2 .
You are not required to use any extra resources. If you participate in class and study the class notes, that is sufficient. You are welcome to use extra resources if you want to, and if you find some that work for you. But you don't have to.
Subsection 6.3 University Resources
Boise State University's The Basics 3 web page has links to many forms of support, ranging from academic resources to family, living, and food resources.
You may reach out to me at any time if there's anything I can help with or if there's anything you think I should know.
