READING ASSIGNMENTS: These are listed under the topic on the right hand side. On most of these reading assignments. I would like you to at least begin the reading before the class in which that topic is discussed, and then read it carefully after the lecture and discussion in class on it. At times, however, I might specify that you need to read the text carefully before the discussion in class.
WRITTEN HOMEWORK: There will be almost daily homework in the form of exercises. This is primarily a how-to course, not a theoretical course. So, you learn by doing. Occasionally homework will be collected. Your having it will favorably impact your participation component of your grade.
EXAMS: There will be three exams. Each exam will be cumulative. There will be no make-ups for exams. If you miss an exam, then the other two will count proportionately more for your grade.
QUIZZES: There will be several short quizzes. These will be announced ahead of time in class. These will have an impact on your participation grade.
GRADES: The grade will be calculated as follows: About30% for each exam, and 10% for participation. (The participation grade will be based on your attendance, quizzes, and homework, and my judgment on whether you understand the material.)
