Homework, Qizzes and Exams:

• Computer Homework(west.ilrn.com)
  • Online homework assignments are required for Math166 students. Deadline will be clearly stated on the homework website. I will also announce it in class. The course code is: E-2GABDN58QGTGZ
    
  • I highly recommend you to take the online homework on a campus computer in one of the open access labs (not your own computer). This will decrease the chances of any technical difficulties due to faulty internet connections or improperly installed or older versions of java and other applications.
