The textbook provides the background and context for classroom lecture and discussion, and therefore you should read the chapter before the class period during which it is discussed. Notice that not every chapter covered on the exams will be discussed in lecture, so be sure to schedule in time for reading and studying the chapters on exams that are not covered in lecture. Details on additional readings will be given in class. See the course schedule for when the chapters will be covered in lecture. There will be four exams, corresponding to the four parts of the course listed in the table above.
Exams are to be taken when scheduled.
In case of an emergency you must contact me as soon as possible to make other arrangements. See the course schedule for exam dates for this term. Instructions for these papers and projects will be given to you on separate handouts in class or posted on the web. Papers must be turned in by class time on the due date in order to receive full credit. See the course schedule for the paper due dates for this term.
