Success in this course is determined by your mastery of course material. It is an objective standard of excellence, which is the best standard for all of us to adopt. When it is up to you to be prepared for a test, don't leave it up to us to grade answers that display a lack of preparedness as correct, or even partially correct. Homework questions and problems will be assigned periodically. These assignments will mostly be from the questions and problems at the back of each chapter.
Assignments are due on time, without exception.
No late assignments will be accepted. I cannot police how you get your answers to problems. If you work in teams, fine. In order to do well in this class, you must develop the ability to solve problems by yourself.
