When doing your problem sets, try working through the problems on your own first, then try to help each other out. Write up your final copy to turn in on your own. Educational research consistently shows that students working together learn better than students working entirely alone. You will have more opportunity to learn in a group in the collaborative learning lab and in various group presentations to the rest of the class. Your participation is encouraged and expected.
Questions are welcome at any time.
I also encourage you to come see me outside of class. Formal office hours will be determined the first day of class. No appointment is needed during regular office hours. You should always feel free to call me at home. My home phone number is listed on the first page of the syllabus for this purpose.
