In the extra pts category section you have the following opportunities so far: Short Bio (5 pts) In Class Workshop (up to 3 pts) Reflections from the Panel Discussion on September 7 (5 pts) The next opportunity for earning extra points is by writing: Reflections from Conversations with Dr. Brian McClendon on Tuesday, September 13 Brian McClendon is a Member of the National Academy of Engineering.

I am very proud that Brian has visited my classes in the past, and he will visit our class this semester. He has been very inspirational to so many. I hope that you have been enjoying practicing finding derivatives with Peter and by yourself going through Chapter 3. Let me remind you that we made a commitment to pass the Gateway Exam, at least the online part by the end of next week. Let us do it. Let us help each other by studying together and teaching each other. Let us collaborate. Alec will update the webpage by tomorrow. With my very best wishes for the most effective and enjoyable upcoming weekend, Bozenna Pasik- Duncan
