I don't understand `remainder`._ > That's what today's lab is. _What problem will we write up today?_ > I'll let you know with ten minutes to go. _What do we submit?_ > Your answer to the given problem. _Why do we have quizzes? Is it just because you are sadistic?_ * A self check for students to see if they have learned the appropriate material. * Strong educational research evidence that students retain the material they do in low-stakes testing situations, in part because it encourages more study/memorization. * Provides an opportunity to do work by yourself and not just with teams. * Makes attendance easier. * Lets Sam know how you are doing. _Do we submit one homework assignment or two?_ > Just one! _What if we don't agree on an answer? > Submit both! _Do we submit one lab writeup or two?_ > One, if you complete it together in class. > One, if you complete it together outside of class. > Two, if you complete it separately outside of class.

SR says: Assume that all real numbers are rational, even though that assumption seems irrational. _How should we keep track of what we've done?_ > Write it down in a notebook. > Copy and paste into an email message (to you and your partner). > Copy and paste into the definitions pane. Select what you've pasted. Choose "Comment out with Semicolons" from under the Racket menu. _What is the lab writeup?_ > Exercise 2 parts d, e, and f. > Send the email to . > For d and f, explain the value of `bounded-val` based on `val` (and maybe `lower` and `upper`).
