IPFW rarely closes its campus due to weather. Unless you see or hear a specific announcement that IPFW is closed and classes are canceled, you should assume that the campus is open with classes running at normal times. When possible, closings for adverse weather are announced by 6:00 a.m. for daytime classes and 3:00 p.m. for evening classes. Announcements are made: - Via text, voice and e-mail messaged from the IPFW Emergency Notification System - Via weather closing announcement on Fort Wayne radio and television stations - On the recorded IPFW weather emergency phone lines (260-281-6050 / 260-481-5770) - Through IPFW’s official social media outlets on Facebook (ipfw.edu/fb) and Twitter (ipfw.edu/twitter) - Through the IPFW website at Students should also check BlackBoard to see if individual professors / instructors have canceled class. In weather situations, always consider your individual circumstance for safe travel to and from the campus.

Please encourage your graduate students and your senior students in their capstone courses to attend our workshop. Vamsi Nalam and Marcia Dixson are joining me on the 30th to help the students brainstorm on how to take their project or thesis and break it down for an educated lay person audience and to do so in 3 minutes. What we are going to be doing is to help the students begin to focus on how they can present their scholarly work on March 2nd. This workshop is the first in a series to help the students for our event. We do need your assistance to encourage your students to attend and ultimately, participate in our competition. IPFW received special permission for our students, to participate in the 3MT because students must be doing a scholarly project, they may not be doing a thesis. We also received permission for our seniors in their capstone courses to participate as long as their project is scholarly based. Check out this URL and you’ll learn more about the 3MT completion.

Above all, use common sense when deciding to travel to campus. If after a weather-related absence, you think a course attendance policy has treated you unfairly, first talk to me or the instructor involved. If you think I or another instructor has treated you unfairly because of your absence, then I would recommend that you contact the chair of the department. If I cannot travel safely to campus, or if there is a concern about whether a number of students will be able to return safely from campus due to weather, I will make a determination about whether to hold class. I only will communicate a class cancellation, so if there is no announcement, assume that there will be a class meeting and then decide if you can safely travel to campus. If I need to cancel class, I will communicate that decision as soon as possible, and ideally, no later than an hour before class time. Please keep in mind, however, that some weather situations may demand a last-minute decision. If I cancel a class *I* teach, I will notify you via email using the address on record with IPFW and on Blackboard. I also will notify the department secretaries and the department chair. As I may be in meetings or in another class when there is an adverse weather situation, please call 481-6825 if you have concerns about whether I will hold class, but again, if there is no announcement, assume that I will hold class and be aware that the secretaries may be busy handling other phone calls. sc 2015_10_19_15_51_50.pdf Steven Carr | October 19, 2015 at 8:16 pm | Categories: Uncategorized | URL: http://wp.me/p1kgg-vq Comment Change your email settings at Manage Subscriptions.

Important information about MA 11100 starting Spring 2016

Please read the following message from the Math Department: As you likely know, this semester (Fall 2015) is the last semester that MA 11300 will be offered. Next semester (Spring 2016) the math department will begin offering MA 11100. This course will prepare students for MA 15300. MA 11100 will stress the quantitative reasoning ability that a student will need to be successful in MA 15300. MA 11100 will be available as credit toward graduation in programs that choose to allow it. Any student who would have been eligible to take MA 11300 in the spring, will be eligible to take MA 11100 in the spring. Any student whose major does not require the student to take MA 15300, should consider taking MA 14000 or STAT 12500 to satisfy the General Education requirement in Quantitative Reasoning. If you have any questions, please email Doug Townsend at [email protected] .
