Each week we will have one or more short, in-class quizzes. These quizzes will usually be unannounced. We will have at least 14 quizzes this semester.
Problem sets are lengthy, take-home written assignments.
You will usually have one week in which to complete a problem set. We will have 4 to 6 problem sets this semester. Several times this semester you will be given in-class group work. Groups will have three or four students each and will be chosen by the instructor. Group work will consist of a set of problems to be solved cooperatively by each group.
