Labs provide an excellent opportunity to get help on the material discussed in lecture. There will be six mandatory labs during the semester. Other weeks there may be a take home assignment but the lab instructor will be available to answer questions, elaborate on lecture material and work through examples. Attendance is highly recommended. Bring your book, class notes and a calculator to the lab.
Individual practice is an important part of learning.
For this reason homework problems will be assigned throughout the semester. Late assignments will not be accepted. Solutions to homework problems will be posted on the class website. Quizzes will not be announced so attending all lectures is encouraged. Quizzes will be based on information presented in class, on labs and on homework.
