Cuesta College, San Luis Obispo, CA
Students have a weekly online reading assignment (hosted by SurveyMonkey.com), where they answer questions based on reading their textbook, material covered in previous lectures, opinion questions, and/or asking (anonymous) questions or making (anonymous) comments. Full credit is given for completing the online reading assignment before next week's lecture, regardless if whether their answers are correct/incorrect. Selected results/questions/comments are addressed by the instructor at the start of the following lecture.
The following question was asked (by student request) in order to determine interest in moving the date of the first midterm.
Rank your preference for the date of Midterm 1. (You may skip this question if you have no preference.) Results will be tallied using a referential voting protocol (with elimination).
Wednesday, March 19: [1st choice.] [2nd choice.] [3rd choice.] Monday, March 24: [1st choice.] [2nd choice.] [3rd choice.] Wednesday, March 26: [1st choice.] [2nd choice.] [3rd choice.]
