Homework will be scored for correctness. The purpose of the groups is to increase your active participation in the class. You will be interacting with your group members, working on assignments, and so on. Your participation and production will be noted and recorded. They will be cover the content of the most recent chapters.
All tests are in class, and are open notes and open book.
Essentially, your projects will be like a problem or set of problems you worked in class or lab, only more expanded to make the model more realistic. I will allot class and lab time for you to work on this project. A detailed description with grading criteria will be available later in the semester. The final exam will be comprehensive. One quarter of the grade and credit for the course will be based the student's performance in the lab.
