I attempt to anticipate those areas where students experience the greatest difficulty. I have selected topics to cover in class and have reserved some topics for coverage outside of class. As you work through the course material, it is expected that you will be challenged. Too often we resort to mindless mnemonics in place of substantive understanding. This practice robs the student of any hope for understanding.
Diligence is necessary.
The course will also move rapidly from one topic to another. One must continue to address identified difficulties at the same time new materials are being taken up. I will assist students who come to my office. Any student who feels he or she may need an accommodation for any type of disability, please see me during office hours or contact the Learning Services Coordinator in the office of the Vice President for Academics. The text for this course will be available as lecture notes and lab manuals in the WBC Bookstore.
