Do not print this calendar or download documents far in advance. I will make changes throughout the term.

Reading should be done before attending lecture. Lab instructions must be printed and brought to lab.

All textbook homework (listed by chapter.problem number) must show work and must be submitted in class or to my office (8-236) by 4 p.m. on the date posted. For odd numbered numerical problems, your solutions must include an extra digit beyond those provided at the back of the book. I will post solutions to the eLearn web site after the due date.
