Once we have
finished covering a topic in class you will be responsible for completing the
practice homework
problems assigned from that topic. If it takes more than two class
periods to cover a particular topic then you should start working on the
practice homework from that topic after the first lecture on that chapter. Your
in-class quizzes will be based on these 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! Answers to the activities will be on reserve in the
library.
