It is recommended that you read the sections to be covered in class before the lecture. You are responsible for material covered in class as well as material from the text which is assigned but not covered in class. As a general rule, you will find that you must spend at least two hours of study for each hour in class and additional time for quiz and exam preparation. It is strongly advised that you start working on this course and use the Math Lab from the very beginning. The importance of doing homework can not be overemphasized.
Tests are closed book exams with no notes.
Necessary formulas are to be memorized. It is very important to take the examinations at the scheduled times. Quizzes will be given as the instructor schedules and generally make-ups will not be allowed. If you already own another model of graphing calculator, please see your instructor. It is expected that you read the manual for the calculator as very little class time will be devoted to teaching you how to operate the TI-86.
