Topics will include terminology, concepts and techniques, and their underlying assumptions and limitations. Some problems will be done as part of class lecture. Others will be assigned as homework to expand each student s skills. Unexcused absences will be recorded as zeros. There are no make up exams.
All exams are closed book exams, and are to be the sole work of each student.
A grade of F for the course will be awarded to anyone cheating or assisting another during an exam or quiz. Also, each student is encouraged to bring a ruler or straightedge to the exams, along with pencils and erasers. Sometimes the questions will require generalizations from the concepts covered in text, lecture, and handout materials. Formula sheets will be provided by the instructor, if required for the exam. The assigned homework problems are chosen to be representative, but do not necessarily represent a complete treatment of the material.
