Are there course discussions? How should I participate?

Class participation, interaction with your classmates, and learning to communicate about and with mathematics are important aspects of any math class. If you are unsure of how to proceed, or if you have questions about the course material, post your question(s) to the Discussions. As an active participant in this course, I expect you to assist your classmates by also responding to their questions in the Discussions. In short, participate as little or as much as you want.

- If you want to contribute...start posting! Please be respectful of your fellow classmates in your comments and responses. Also, please try your best to comment in the appropriate thread as good organization will make the forums less chaotic.
- If  you start your own thread, please label it clearly so others can find your comment. While we are thrilled to hear from you, we will not be responding individually. Again, we expect your classmates to respond respectfully to your questions.

I'm just here for the contextualized math videos. Where can I see them all in one place?

Unfortunately, there is no one place for all the contextualized math concepts. We believe that contextualization of math concepts for industry is as important as understanding the math concept. In each module, contextualized math concepts will have the word "Contextualize" as the first word in the title of the content.

But wait, I have another question!

- Check out the FAQ page
- Post your questions in the Discussions.
- Just jump right in! There is lots of fun content to explore. Feel free to click around the course website and you will likely stumble across what you are looking for!
