⚠️ Note

While this course is in the intro sequence, it’s not the beginning of it. Your instructors are working to support your metacognitive development. You’ve survived over a decade of compulsory education where if you didn’t show up police might turn up asking your guardians about it. All of your academic program in University is elective. You don’t have to be here (but we’re so glad you are!). This kind of assignment intentionally has all of the answers built in. There is no way to check whether you have done it. Most of the assignments in this course (and likely this whole major/minor program) are formative (i.e. rather than summative , like your final exams). You’re moving from doing assignments because you had to if you wanted good grades, to now being in a position where mathematically you may be able to forgo a large number of assignments and still have the possibility of making a good grade. You now are choosing to do these assignments that are of little mathematic significance to your final course grade. You are trusting that your instructors have assigned them because we believe they will help reveal misconceptions or conceptual gaps that you may have. This prepares you for the less structured world beyond these academic programs where you are obligated to very little, and you must choose how to spend your time to be or become the self you wish you were.
