Welcome to Week Five
Rational Expressions (MA107)
Weekly Content - Linear Equations
This week we're going to be discussing linear equations, i.e. the algebraic way of describing a line. These techniques are a great tool to have in your toolbox for modeling a wide variety of applications from fields as diverse as business and physics.
Class Notes - Mid-Term Grades
Mid-term grades will be posted to the registrar by the end of the day today. If you have any questions about your grades or the material, please don't hesitate to let me know. At this point, there's usually still time to bring up a low grade but it's important that you take immediate action to make that happen. If you aren't satisfied with where your grade is, I'll be glad to discuss your situation with you by phone during my office hours, on Skype at prof.gregory.allen or in a private message.
Technical Issues
If you're having technical issues with Blackboard, e.g. uploading files, downloading files or viewing the grade book, you should contact the Herzing University Helpdesk. I'll be glad to answer any questions you have about the course's content but faculty don't have the training or access to do any kind of tech support.

Office Hours
I will have three virtual office hours for each week of the course, with time allocated during the week to focus on the assignments and their due dates. I'll be available every Tuesday from 8:00 - 10:00 AM ET, Tuesday from 8:00 - 9:00 PM ET and Thursday from 8:00 - 10:00 PM ET.
