If you are uncertain about whether you have satisfied the prerequisites, please check with the instructor. Course Structure Class meetings will mostly be lectures, but some discussion and student presentations may take place. Students are encouraged to ask any pertinent questions and participate actively in discussions. There will be several written homework assignments and several programming assignments. The workstations in the Education Lab in the Lederle Graduate Research Tower 223 and 225 will be available for use by on-campus students in completing course assignments.
Manuals relating to the use of the workstations and software are available in the laboratory.
For on-campus students, assignments are due at the beginning of class on the specified due date. No credit will be given for homeworks submitted late, since solutions may be handed out or discussed in class. In addition some readings may be assigned from books and papers on reserve in the Physical Sciences Library. Copies of such readings will be provided, if necessary, to off-campus students. Attendance will not be officially recorded, but will be noted, and class participation is part of the basis for grading.
