I shall not rob you of that sense of accomplishment. You also learn by participating in class discussions. I know that you spent the first twelve years of your formal education finding ways to avoid looking or feeling foolish, but you need to understand that feeling foolish is the first step in learning. If you haven't felt foolish lately, you are not pushing your intellect. Asking questions and discussing mathematical ideas helps you learn the WHY underlying HOWs.
Examinations are all closed book, in class.
Under no circumstances should students confer with anyone other than the instructor of this course for information on examinations. I do NOT give make-up examinations. If you miss an examination for any reason other than those listed above, you earn a grade of 0 on that examination. As with homework, examinations are graded on the basis of neatness and organization as well as correct answers. You will work with other class members on team projects relevant to the level and content of this class.
