The Golden Ratio, Pi, and other great irrational moments. Attendance You need to be in class almost every day to do well in this course. If you cannot attend class because of illness or other another difficult situation, contact the instructor about the absence. Use the phone or email. Class credit lost to absence might be made up if explanations are given prior to absence and arrangements are made with the instructor.
Attendance is a significant part of the grade formula.
Study Groups Research and experience have shown that most students work and learn better if they interact in the classroom in meaningful discussion of the academic material. Study groups are helping transform education- and industry as well. You may choose or be assigned to a study group. This group will collaborate on class lab activities, homework and, in some cases, on exams. Group members are encouraged to support each other in every possible way in order to get each other through the semester.
