This will require that the student attend class, pay attention to the lecture material, complete the assignments and demonstrate the ability to think in an analytical manner. Attendance and your full attention once in class is expected. Private conversations will not be tolerated by the instructor. Certain students may be assigned specific seats if the above becomes a problem. Simple in-class exams will be given at the end of class periods on a regular basis.
Homework assignments are to be completed to the best of one's ability and turned in when due.
The papers will be evaluated by the instructor and promptly returned to the student at which time selected problems will be discussed. The textbook is very good in describing concepts but is woefully lacking in problems and examples that require numerical solutions. These problems are to be solved by the student and turned in when due. You must show your work on these problems and homework is NOT to be copied from other students. Seek help from the instructor if needed.
