| Course Organization and Participation: | This course will consist of lectures and recitations, each meeting twice per week. You are required to attend all scheduled sessions at all times. |
| Homework: | Homework will be assigned on MyMathLab and will consist of exercise problems on MyMathLab. You are expected to understand all homework problems for the tests. In order to increase the effectiveness of recitation, you should attempt the problems before the weekly recitation sections. Homework
must be turned in weekly and no late homework will be accepted. There could be a 5-minute quiz in every class.
A student must turn in his/her own finished quiz. |
| Tests: | There will be three midterms (once every month, announced at least one
week in advance),
and one final exam. The final exam (Dec 9 (Tue) 11:30am - 2:20pm, Howey Physics L4) will cover all course materials. All students must take the final examination.
