These tools will provide maximum learning for anyone taking the course. They are given during the 5 th ,10 th ,and the 15 th week of classes. Each test consists of five problems. These problems are very similar to the homework problems. The tests are open notes, closed book.
Partial credit is given if the correct approach is taken.
Therefore, all work must be shown in working each problem. Homework is assigned for each chapter but is not collected. The solutions to the homework are posted online one week later. It is advised that the students try the problems first and then check their work with the posted solutions to see if they worked the problems correctly. See Course Schedule for details.
