I expect this course to be math oriented. I expect this course to require lots of memorization. I find it easier to learn in classes that emphasize group discussion methods, as opposed to classes that emphasize lecturing. I find that grading based on group performance accurately reflects my individual performance. Group exercises are an effective way to learn technical material.
Group presentations are an effective use of class time.
I enjoy working in groups. I am a good oral communicator in a group setting. I am capable of getting work done in groups. Learning how to work with others should be an important objective of this course. Explaining material in writing should be an important objective of this course.
