Each homework assignment will have a deadline. Students will not be allowed to submit homework assignments after the deadline. After the lecture, reread your notes and rework the problems we did in class. Problems at the end of the chapter will help pull concepts together and demonstrate relationships between the concepts in the chapter. Remember to seek outside help when you are having difficulty with particular concepts or problems.
Many students find it helpful to get together in study groups to work problems and test each other.
Explaining a concept to a peer will help you learn the material better than rereading it a dozen times. This has been found to be a very effective learning tool for most science students. I will not assign groups nor require them because some people do work better alone. For this to be effective you need the right group. I strongly encourage you to try to find someone you can work with and to start by meeting once a week to go over problems or to discuss concepts that we have covered in class.
