Some ground rules for this class. There are three lecture sessions a week, and each of you will be assigned a discussion section as well.
Attendance is required.
We will keep track of who is here, and if you fail to appear for lectures and discussions a total of more than 4 times without some prior explanation, we will assume that you have decided not to be a member of this class. I will lecture, but will often pause to ask you questions. Even if I don't stop, please feel free to interrupt me whenever you don't understand something I have said, or even better if you have had a good idea about the topic we are discussing. Evaluation will consist of two mid-term exams and one final, all of which will have both short answer and essay questions. We will attempt to design these questions so that you must not only know the material but also think about it in order to answer them well.
