Homework assignments are due within a week, and take-home tests will be given on a Friday and due the following Monday. A zero with no appeal will be recorded for any homework assignment or take-home test not submitted by the due date. This is why students are required to take notes. For their own benefit, they should make a special effort in reorganizing and rewriting their notes if necessary. In the process, students will achieve a better and deeper understanding of the material so essential in reaching the level of mastery required in this course.
Emphasis is on the methods and techniques of solving problems.
Students should train themselves at reproducing everything that is done in class without looking at their lecture notes. It is then and only then that they will be able to complete their assignments and do well on their tests.
