Homework: There will be eight homework assignments each worth twenty-five points. Cooperation on homework is encouraged; copying is not. You are urged to work together on homework to solve problems; however, each of you must submit your own write-up.
Office Hours: Office hours are times when I will be in my office to help you. There are many other times when I am in my office. If I am in and not busy, I will be happy to help. My office hours for Fall 2003 semester are 10:20 to 11:00 and 2:00 to 2:50, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, or by appointment.
Philosophy: I strongly believe that you, the student, are the only person who can make yourself learn. Therefore, whenever it is appropriate, I expect you to "discover" the mathematics we will be exploring. I do not feel that "lecturing" to you will teach you how to do mathematics. I hope to be your "guide" while we learn some mathematics, but you will need to do the learning. I expect each of you to come to class prepared to discuss the days material. That means you will have to pre-read each section of the text very carefully before class.
My idea of teaching / learning is not "Teaching is telling and learning is listening". I believe that you must be active in the learning process to learn well. My job as a teacher, therefore, is not to "tell" you the answers to the problems we will encounter; rather it is to point you in a direction which will allow you to see the solutions yourselves. To accomplish that goal, I will work to find different interactive activities for us to work on. Your job is to use me, your text, your friends, and any other sources as resources. Remember, the goal is to learn mathematics, not to pass the exam. (Incidentally, if you have truly learned the material, the test results will take care of themselves.)
