Started working!

Hi!

I'm not sure what you mean by new exam pages, don't we already have the December 2011 MATH 100 page? Now, I can create exam pages fairly easily and for slightly more time investment show you how to do it yourself, maybe over Skype sometimes or Friday: we are trying to see if it would be worth it to have a group work session on Friday between 12 and 2pm, where people could just drop by for any amount of time and either just work for a bit or get help at something that's not clear to them. What do you think?

Finally, you raise an important problem about the notation. It will never be perfect. First, because it isn't really latex running, but a script reading the latex code and generating images and thus at small scale, it just doesn't work... What the wikipedia community does is a mix of html math code for inline and latex code for display (and then exceptions everywhere when you can't stick to that). You can have a look at what they suggest here: [1].

For the specific case of functions, I suggest using the html function symbol ƒ(&fnof;) instead of just typing f or f. Then, we also recommend putting the variable x in italics (so ''x'' instead of x).

Cheers, David

Hi David,

Thanks for the writing style guide! I'll make sure to sure ƒ and "x" from now on :)

I just checked the Math 100 page again, and there doesn't seem to be any exams under that page. Regrettably, I am only on campus this semester on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so a Friday tutorial won't work for me. However, since there is plenty of other calculus questions to be done in the meantime, I am perfectly fine with just working on those for now :)

Cheers, Nabil

Ok, I understand: we hide some of the pages to the students while we work on them. If you look at the MER side of things and check a course like math 100: Science:MER/Courses/MATH100 then there (down the page) you'll see the status of each exam page. In the case of math 100, only one exam page that is hidden. Also, you can always click on the percentage on the table at Science:MER to get directly to that exam page. I'll think of something more explicit maybe.
