There will NOT be a team modeling project this semester. See your professor's personal syllabus for a description of the manner in which the course will be taught. In particular take note of how the instructor's component of the final grade is determined.
New knowledge depends on understanding previous material.
For this course it is imperative that you get your work done on time. If you are unprepared even once, you may never catch up. There will be three in-class exams plus a final exam. Each exam will cover one or two chapters in the text. The final exam will be comprehensive.
