- The course
will combine group discussion, lecture, and topic related exercises
both in class and as (group) homework. Many classes will also have lab
time where you will work on the material with the opportunity to get
help from me while you work.
- Attendance
is mandatory and students must come to class prepared to participate
in discussion. Be sure to check the Website for the class regularly
as things change and there will be regular updates.
- Discussion
will revolve around lecture, reading, and project related topics.
- The assigned
readings will assist you with your projects. Doing the reading will
help you understand the material. Quizzes will commence if the reading
is ignored. Info from the reading will be on the midterm.
- Participation
points are 20% of the final grade. If you are too shy to speak in class,
it is OK to e-mail questions/comments to me and I will relate them to
the class.
