Once I have
finished covering a chapter in class you will be responsible for completing the
practice homework
problems assigned from that chapter. If it takes more than two class
periods to cover a particular chapter then you should start working on the
practice homework from that chapter after the first lecture on that chapter. Your
in-class quizzes will be based on these problems, your on-line problems, and our class discussions.
I will be updating the problems assigned so please check the Date and Time of
Last Update to This Page given above to make sure you have the latest
assignment!
