I expect each student to read the assigned readings prior to the class meeting for which they have been assigned. This will facilitate students' participation in class and aid in their understanding of topics addressed by the instructor. Students must make substantial contributions to in-class learning exercises. This examination consists of a collection of questions pertaining to the second, third, and fourth weeks' lectures, readings, and assignments. It is not cumulative.
Assignments supplement in-class lectures and outside readings.
Due to the amount of material covered in the course, students will be required to complete in-class exercises as well as homework problems. You may choose any 10 problems from the list provided. Assignments which fail to meet the above criteria will not receive full credit. The exam will cover material from lectures, readings, and assignments presented over the entire course. Grades are based on points earned during the course.
