Homework

Homework is required for this course. Assignments will be given in class, as well as posted here, and will consist (mostly) of problems from the text. Exam problems will (mostly) be similar to homework problems. There will be five homework assignments. Only problems marked with * need to be turned in for a grade. Students may work together, but must turn in individual copies.

While it may not be stated explicitly each day, students are expected to read each section to be covered before class. Questions not addressed during class time should be asked in office hours. Students are responsible for any material missed due to absence.

To be posted as we go.

HW1 -- Due Apr 21

HW2 -- Due Apr 28

Only problems marked with * need to be turned in for a grade. An underlined problem is especially important, but not required to be turned in.


Quizzes

There will be a series of simple quizzes for each section online at the Blackboard Site. Quizzes must be completed before class on the day of the given deadline. Deadlines for these quizzes will be posted on the course calendar, but in general will be one week from starting the corresponding section. Quizzes are individual assignments, do not work in groups.


Exams

There will be one midterm exam and one cummulative final exam (with two distinct parts). There will be no makeup exams. Missed midterm grades may be replaced by the grade from the first part of the final. Scheduling conflicts with the final exam must be resolved in advance. No books, notes, or graphing/programmable calculators will be allowed on exams. Scientific calculators are allowed but will not be needed.
