Policies Readings are assigned at each lecture. The students are required to study them and be prepared to discuss in class the concepts introduced by the materials assigned as a reading. Class meetings will consist of discussions on each topic and the instructor will help guide the discussion by asking questions rather than traditional lectures, when the instructor presents a subject and students listen. At the end of each week each student is required to fill out a “Student review” form available from the class Web site. Each student should list the new concepts and ideas discussed/introduced at each lecture s(he) attended during the week and then list the topics/concepts/ideas that were unclear. If a student misses a class s(he) should not fill in the form for the missed lecture and forfeit the 10 points. Filling out the form for a missed lecture is considered an act of academic dishonesty. This form should be submitted to the TA (Bo Kang, bokang@knights.ucf.edu) by10 AM on Monday the following week. The penalty for late assignments (homework, review forms) is 5 points/day. 11/29/2018
