Help: You should get help as soon as you find yourself not understanding something in class. Please come and see me during my office hours. Tutors are available free of charge in Swart 113 from 8am – 4pm Monday through Friday. You are encouraged to work together.
Homework: Homework will be assigned at the end of each section and will be collected to be graded. The lowest homework score will be dropped.
Quizzes: A quiz will be given almost every Wednesday. There will be no make-up quizzes. However, the lowest quiz score will be dropped. Quiz problems will be very much similar to the homework problems, so make sure you do all the homework problems.
Group Work: At times we will be solving problems by working in small groups.
Exams: There will be 3 exams. The dates will be announced a week in advance.
Grading: Your course grade will be based on 600 total points.
