I will call on those who don't voluntarily join in the discussion. Homework problems on topics from the previous class will be discussed briefly. Not much time will be spent on homework because answers for most problems are included in the course packet. I then present a lecture on the new topic for the day. You are expected to have read the new material prior to the class meeting and be prepared to answer questions about that matrial.
Attendance is mandatory and regular participation is required.
If you cannot attend a class, let me know in advance by email. The purpose of the group presentation is to enhance your ability to communicate ideas to a group of people. Students will work in assigned teams to develop presentations. Group presentations should be 10 minutes and all members must present. Topics for presentations are on the course schedule.
