You will present your idea to me and we will work it into the lecture material for that week. Later in the week I will present your example to the class. At the end of the semester, we will vote for the best example so remember to come up with something that will really stick in peoples minds. Extra credit will be given for the best example. You are strongly encouraged to work in your groups on many aspects of this course.
Many students find it beneficial to collaborate on homework and study for exams together.
During class, groups will be asked to write their answers to particular problems on the board and explain them, as well as participate in other group activities. At the semester s end, group members will evaluate each other to find out who has been slacking. These evaluations are worth 10 points. Be aware, however, that any work that is turned in individually should reflect individual effort. This will be determined as the course progresses.
