Howdy,
If you need to email me (sherry.scarborough@math.tamu.edu), please put your NAME,
141, and SECTION in the SUBJECT line of your emails so I can best help YOU since I have
about 440 students.
Starting January 29th you will be required to sit in your assigned seat in Math 141. If you
have any situation (left-handed, vision issues, crutches/wheelchair, service animals, hearing
challenges, etc.) that requires some seating accommodation, you must email me no later
than 3pm on Wed January 29, 2016 explaining your situation and about what part of the
room you would like to seat (you may not ask for a particular seat number). We will do our
best to accommodate your preference. [See Quiz 1 # 17 for more details.]
Please make sure you are on track by reading the contents, whether you have been in the class
from the start or whether you just added this Math 141 course.
The Math 141 Help Sessions are Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays
from 8 to 10pm in Blocker 149. The help sessions are a great place to get help with your
homework; it is come and go as needed.
There are two different Week-In-Reviews (WIR) for Math 141

Whether you can attend the WIR or not, it is strongly recommended that you work the
appropriate WIR problems for that week before attending or looking at the answers. The WIR is
a great place to see more example problems presented by Math 141 instructors on the concepts
already covered; it is come and go as your time allows.
