Homework assignments are to be done before the due date, these will be collected and graded periodically. Doing homework is a very essential part of mastering mathematics, you will notice that a lot of credit will be given to these homework assignments. Quizzes will be given in class but while most quizzes will not count to the overall grade, some difficult quizzes, if done right, can contribute to extra credit for the course. Reading ahead and trying some of the difficult problems in the book often help in quizzes. There will be group projects in this course.
Students are to form their own group of four to solve project problems.
Project problems together with their due dates will also be posted on the Web Page. Discussion on projects are only allowed within the group. Students are encouraged to discuss with one another but work done in the homework assignments should be individual work. If you have difficulty in solving a problem, you may ask fellow classmates for assistance in understanding but not in doing it. You are also welcomed to ask me for assistance.
