4. Homework
The purpose of homework is to practice, and/or reinforce concepts we are working on in class. Credit is given for completion, not perfection.
When students have trouble with HW, they are expected to problem solve using available resources (notes, textbook, websites, logic, reasoning). If unable to find a solution, they should bring the methods or strategies attempted, and come prepared with questions.
Homework is assigned in class approximately 2-4 nights per week, and will be posted on my website.
