**Welcome to Mrs. Clemmer's Finite Math Wikispace!**


 * H omework for this course will all be obtained through this website.
 * You will be given a **__//packet of notes pages//__**for each unit which will include the syllabus of assignments, however, the actual HOMEWORK (after the first 2 days of Unit 1) will NOT be printed out for you.
 * It will //**YOUR**// responsiblility to make sure you have the homework for each day, either //one day at a time// or the //whole unit at once//.
 * //**NOTE**: Some days you will be able to start that day's homework in class, so come prepared.//
 * You can choose to print out the worksheets at home or in the library and do the work on the worksheet, OR
 * You can just look at the problems on the screen and do the work on a piece of notebook paper.
 * If you have ANY QUESTIONS or PROBLEMS acquiring the homework, get in touch with me as soon as possible.

Here is a copy of the information and expections sheet handed out the first day of class (which you and your parents were to sign).
