You may work with other students on your homework, though the final product must be your own. You will have opportunities to ask questions about the homework in class before the day it is due. You should plan on getting started early on each homework assignment to ensure that you have a chance to ask questions. The Thursday lab sessions will usually be used for work in cooperative groups, sometimes with an emphasis on technology, sometimes not. Each lab session will culminate in a short writeup to be turned in the following week.
Participation is a component of the lab grade.
I will use the daily questions largely as a guide to how well people are understanding the current material, and also as an early warning for people who are starting to struggle. They will be graded loosely, and an honest attempt is more important than getting the right answer. Daily questions cannot be turned in late. Late Policy Homework assignments and labs will always be due at the beginning of class. Assignments which are not turned in on time will be worth a reduced amount, as described below.
