Keys to Success in MM150
• Complete ALL learning activities for each unit on time
Do your best and move on, even if you don't understand the material 100%
Small points add up (DB, seminar)
• Use the Discussion Board as your classroom
Explaining a concept clarifies and solidifies your knowledge
Reading the posts of other students brings up questions you may not have
considered
• Attend seminar if you can
Seminars will be designed to help you with your assignments
• Ask questions
Please don't be shy! If you have a question, someone else probably has the same
question. There are no dumb questions.

(section 1.5)
change the order
(1 +7) + 9 = 1 + (7 + 9)
3*(5 + 8) = 3*5 + 3*8
grouping
remove parentheses
