This will be followed by a lecture on a new topic including sample problems from this topic. As time permits, students will be given the opportunity to work homework and homework type problems during class. Every student is required to have read the assigned material and to have worked all of the homework problems prior to attending each class. The computer will occasionally be used in this class. Each student not familiar with electronic spreadsheets should take the time to familiarize himself or herself with Excel.
Every student is required to bring a calculator to every class.
It is in the student's best interest to attend every class, however this is not always possible. If you find it necessary to miss a class it is your responsibility to learn the material that was covered during your absence. A maximum of one absence is permissible. Accordingly, one daily quiz grade will be dropped. If you miss no classes, your lowest grade will be dropped.
