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 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. |
