Subject: MATH 194 - Bowers [WI15]: Math 194 Finals Week Information
Dear Math 194 Students,
The Final Exam is 18 Mar 2015 (Wed) 3:00p - 5:00p. (Location: CSB 002 or PETER 104 -- See Ted for seat assignment.) I have
a few announcements related to Finals Week:
(1) Solutions to each homework assignment can be found posted in Ted. (The midterm exam, too.)
(2) The CAPE Response Rate has surpassed 70%! This means we will drop the lowest homework score. (The lowest score will be
determined based on percentage scores.)
(3) Every student has an assigned seat for the exam. Check in the Ted Grade Center for your seat assignment. If your seat
assignment is cut off, that means you are using a mobile device. Try using a desktop.
(4) Bring a Blue Book and your student ID. We will be checking IDs *during* the exam.
(5) The exam probably has fewer questions than you expect, but it will test all the things! (Well, almost all...)
Sincerely,
Ol' Doc Bowers

Dear Math 194 Students,
This is a reminder that if you get the CAPE response rate up to 70% or better, then we will drop the lowest homework score.
The response rate is currently at about 65%. Today is the last day! If you have not done your CAPEs yet, now is the time
to do them.

Subject: MATH 194 - Bowers [WI15]: Math 194 CAPEs
Date: March 10, 2015 5:14:28 PM PDT
Dear Math 194 Students,
In order to improve the CAPE response rate for Math 194, I will make the following offer: If the response rate
reaches 70% (or better), we will drop the lowest homework score for each student. (If you forgot to turn in a
homework, then that would be the one that gets dropped.) You can keep track of the CAPE Response Rate on the
"CAPE: Current Response Rate!" webpage:
http://www.cape.ucsd.edu/responses/current.aspx
Time is short, so don't delay! Fill out your CAPEs now!
Sincerely,
Ol' Doc Bowers
