A number of classroom techniques will be employed in an effort to make the course both challenging and interesting. Class discussion and participation are critical for development of an understanding of the concepts and techniques to be covered. Further, you MUST receive a passing grade on EACH of the papers AND the final exam in order to pass this course. Because of the nature of the course the final exam is comprehensive. Participation is also graded , and it is difficult to see how you will pass the course if you do not participate in the various class activities.
All assignments are due as indicated in the syllabus, or as indicated in class.
There is no provision for accepting late work, or for making up work. You are expected to work together in teams. Given the amount of work expected during this course, it would be very difficult for you to survive without the support of a team. The grade for the team will apply to each member of the team. A team evaluation form is attached.
