New topics will be presented in the lectures. A syllabus is provided so that you can stay up to date. Text book reading assignments are included on the schedule. It will be assumed that these will be completed before the corresponding lecture. The purpose of the lecture is to present new material and concepts.
Little attention is paid to arithmetic computations.
Detailed examples involving the calculations will be worked out in the recitations. In addition to the lecture section all STCC201 students must be enrolled in a recitation section. Recitation sections are much smaller and provide an environment to review lecture material, work problems, and take quizzes and exams. And don't eat stuff packed in those noisy cellophane wrappers or packages. Turning pages when everyone else is trying to listen is distracting to me and others.
