Some of the material covered in lecture and recitation may not be in the text, so attendance of both the lectures and recitations is very important. Homework will be assigned at the beginning of each week and turned in at the recitation during that week. The objective area covered by each homework problem and its grade weight will be indicated in the assignment. During the recitation, solutions to the homework will be discussed. Checked off homework papers will be returned the following Monday.
Students have until the following recitation to correct problems for partial credit.
A midterm and a final exam will be given. The objectives that are addressed by a given test problem will be listed next to the problem description on the test. If you receive more than one grade for a given objective area, the highest grade will be used and the others will be thrown away. Both the midterm and the final exam are open book and open notes. The text in this course is a supplement to the course lectures and may not include all of the lecture material.
