[Time2000_t18 0193] TIME 2000 Regents Review
by Naomi Weinman 21 Feb '18

21 Feb '18

Dear TIME 2000 Students, I hope you enjoyed today's seminar. At the seminar, we discussed the new Regents Review sessions that will be offered to prepare you for senior year. In the fall semester Methods course of senior year, you will take 3 quizzes based on the mathematics Regents exams. You are required to earn a minimum of 8 out of 10 points on the quizzes. If you do not earn at least an 8, you will be required to sit for a full Regents exam (3 hours maximum) and earn a grade of at least 80%. If you speak with the seniors, they will tell you that this is not as easy as it sounds. There have been many semesters when I have administered over 40 full exams. In our efforts to help you prepare for student teaching and for these quizzes, we will be offering the review sessions once a week. High school topics will be explored in as much detail as is needed through Regents problems; that is, discussions will go beyond the simple solutions. You would be expected to attend once per week and to spend an additional hour per week preparing for the class. Please complete the survey at the link below to let us know if you are interested in attending the classes and the best times for you. Please reply even if your answer is "no" so that I know you received this email. Link: https://goo.gl/forms/X0mlMPf4I6yOP2az2 Sincerely, Mrs. Weinman

[Time2000_t18 0190] [Mathedreunion 0016] Message from Alice Artzt about Dr. Metas
by Naomi Weinman via MathEdReunion 18 Feb '18

18 Feb '18

My dearest math education community, It is with deep sadness that I report the passing of Dr. Nick Metas. Dr. Metas was a wonderful story teller and always entertained us and his students with tales of the mathematicians he worked with and the less well known stories of those he didn't, which only an excellent historian would know. He was a devoted teacher who was considered one of the best, and a dedicated faculty member who gave his best right until the end. He was appreciated and will be missed by all who knew him. Please see below for details of his funeral arrangements. Warm regards, Alice Artzt Frederick Funeral Home 192-15 Northern Boulevard<https://maps.google.com/?q=192-15+Northern+Boulevard%0D+Flushing,+NY+11358%…> Flushing, NY 11358<https://maps.google.com/?q=192-15+Northern+Boulevard%0D+Flushing,+NY+11358%…> 718 357 6100<tel:(718)%20357-6100> Visiting hours will be: Monday from 6-9 PM Tuesday from 2PM-5PM and 7PM-9PM The final Mass for Dr. Metas will take place at: Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, 196-10 Northern Boulevard, Flushing<https://maps.google.com/?q=196-10+Northern+Boulevard,+Flushing&entry=gmail&…> (across the street from the funeral home) on Wednesday at 9:30 AM. _______________________________________________ MathEdReunion mailing list MathEdReunion(a)lists.qc.cuny.edu To unsubscribe or change your preferences goto https://lists.qc.cuny.edu/mailman/listinfo/mathedreunion
