What is Discourse at Mark's Math?

Discourse at Mark’s Math is set up so that students in Mark McClure’s classes can talk with Mark and with each other about Mathematics, Statistics, and related topics.

While anyone can see a few topics in the Meta category without logging on, you generally need to log on to see course material. Once you do so, though,

  • You can read and respond to problems, that Mark posts in Problems categories,
  • You can read and respond to assignments that Mark posts in Assignment categories, and
  • You can ask your own questions in Question categories

Note distinction between Problem categories and Assignment categories. Assignments are for points and everyone must respond to get those points. Problems are worthwhile, too, since you’ve got to think to learn. Generally, someone should respond but it’s not a requirement.
