Homework Assignments WebAssign cannot check your solution steps. Be sure to write down your solution details for all your HW and put them in a binder. It is easier for you to review for exams. It will save you time!

Objectives (Refer to the syllabus) We will look through these at the end of the quarter.

Expectations - Handouts You are expected to print and bring your handout to class unless… you have a tablet that allow you display and write note on a electronic copy of the HO. Fail to have your HO repeatedly will negatively impact your grade.

Expectations - Solutions Sufficient and precise solution steps are expected. Do not skip steps. Pay attention to instructions given to you in class, handout, and feedback from quizzes.

Expectations - Tutoring Do not “ask” the tutors to do your HW. Eventually, you need to know how to do all the HW on your own. Able to redo the same HW problems in the textbook. Keep your voice down. (Hand out Bonus Point Record Sheet)

Expectations - WebAssign Write out full solutions. Do not skip steps and details. The point is not just to finish your HW, but also understand how to do the HW. Do not use “illegal” means to get to the answer. Correct answers do not always imply correct solutions.

Exams 3 Mid-term Exams and a Final Exam.
