Homework
There is homework from the textbook and/or handouts for you to complete after
each class. Textbook problems are answered in the back of the book., and there
are solution manuals available, but you should first attempt every problem on
your own before seeking help, and your solutions should be your own. Write
out the problem, and show your work to the solution. I will not be harsh on
homework errors so long as I can clearly see where the errors occur. Exam
problems will be similar to homework problems, so you should consider your
homework problems as your required exam preparation. Be neat! Be clear!
See me when you have questions and problems! Never miss class to complete
a homework assignment!
Tests
The five tests need to be completed for credit in this class. We will review
tests the previous class day. You will receive sample tests for preparation.
These samples are straightforward in that you can ensure success on tests by
ensuring that you know how to do every sample test problem on your own.
Never miss an in-class test in hopes of gaining an extra study day.
NOTES
1) Let me know if there is reason for special accommodation so that I can make
arrangements for you.
2) It is my observation gathered from years of teaching math courses that people
who attend every class, read their textbook, complete their homework assignments
(on time), and study carefully for tests always pass and almost always get good grades.
3) Come to class every day! This is the easy way to ensure success.
