This is a relatively short homework assignment that should not pose any major difficulties to complete in the week you have to do it. This is designed mainly to give you an idea of questions you might see on the final exam, so as to aid in studying for it.

I am still looking for a volunteer to be a peer note taker for one of your classmates. Here's information on the task that you would be accepting should you choose to become a note taker.

A peer note taker has been requested for this class. A peer note taker is a volunteer student who provides a copy of his or her notes for each class session to another member of the class who has been deemed eligible for this service based on a disability. Peer note takers will be paid a $200 stipend for their service. Peer note taking is not a part time job but rather a volunteer service for which enrolled students can earn a stipend for sharing the notes they are already taking for themselves.

If you are interested in serving in this important role, please fill out a note taker application on the Student Support Services website or in person in the SSS office in Math/Psychology 213.

If you would like to apply for this position, please either visit Student Support Services in their office in MP 213 or fill out the application that is available here.

Please let me know if you apply for and are granted the position as the peer note taker so that I can inform the rest of the class when the position has been taken. Thank you in advance!
