Welcome!

Elvis and Alan, or is it Alan and Elvis

Welcome to M126 - Trigonometric Functions Supplemental Instruction!

My name is Alan Fahrner (the guy on the right, in case you were confused), and I will be your Supplemental Instruction Leader this semester.

That means I will do all your homework and take all your quizzes and exams for you.

(Remember what they say about "If it is too good to be true, then..."?)

What it really means is I'll be holding 3 Supplemental Instruction sessions per week, where everyone attending helps each other with questions (please take the poll to choose times here and see the schedule here). It also means you can reach out to me via Canvas, afahrner@iu.edu, and phone/text with questions about the course, IUE/IU Online, study and techno tool suggestions, etc.

"Wait Alan! You left out your phone number!"

I did that to force you to look at my super-duper flyer:

Admit it, you want a handy copy of it, so here is a PDF version.

Liten is the dog and Opal is the kitten (although Opal is a lot larger and a lot darker now). When you attend Supplemental Instruction sessions you may get glimpses of them (or hear Liten snore), but regardless, sooner or later, I will regale you with stories of their exploits and that of our other two dogs and two cats. (Yes, I said, "Other," as in four dogs and three cats in total).

Apologies ahead of time for the lame memes, dad jokes, and puns. #notreally

Finally, you'll learn more than you ever wanted to know about me as we interact, but the main thing is I love math and I love helping others love math. Or at least not dread it like Gandalf did the mines of Moria. :-)

Again, welcome!
