Students are strongly encouraged to participate actively, and are responsible for the material in reading assignments. Note that for each hour of the class, you will need to devote at least 2-3 hours outside the classroom. For example, doing your assigned work in time. If you think you will need help in the class, get it as soon as possible. The longer you wait to get help, the harder it gets to catch up with the class.
Studies can focus on any section or topic contained in the course syllabus.
Students are also encouraged to do group projects instead of individual projects if such efforts can be justified by the students forming a group. See your instructor early in the semester to discuss your class project.
