Remaining lectures
Slides for lectures 19, 20, 22, 23, 24 will be uploaded, as usual, shortly after the lecture slot. Additionally, I will upload a recording of me delivering the lecture, as was done for Lecture 18. Though there will be no audience present when I record the remaining lectures!
Second in-class test
The in-class test at 12.00pm on Monday 23 March will be delivered via Blackboard.
You will need to find reliable internet access in a quiet place where you can work for 50 minutes uninterrupted; you should have pen and several sheets of white paper to hand.
The test will consist of five equally weighted questions based on the problem sheet up to, and including, Section 12. You will be given 50 minutes to do the test, and you will be required to answer each question on a separate sheet of white paper. After the test you will be given 30 minutes to take clear and readable photopgraphs of each of your five answers and uplaod these as five files to Blackboard. The answer to each question will have to be uploaded as a single file.

Student paper
Please continue to work on you student paper. The pdf file should be named MA342Surname1Surname2Surname3.pdf and emailed to
graham.ellis@nuigalway.ie by 5pm on Tuesday 31 March, 2020.
Tutorials
The tutorials have already covered most of the problems in the tutorial sheet so there is no need for further tutorials.
Semester exam
The plan is to deliver our Maths exams more or less as usual. They'll be made available on Blackboard at the time scheduled in the official exam timetable. Students will answer them at home. They'll be given two hours to write out the solutions. Then they'll be given a short period of time (30 mins say) to scan or photograph the answers and upload them to Blackboard. The onus will be on the student to make sure that the uploaded file is easily readable by the grader.
Visiting students
Visiting students who have had to go home should continue to participate in the online lectures, continuous assessment, and exam.
