Student Activities/Assignments

Assignments

Students will be assigned a homework outline at the beginning of each chapter. The homework outline is comprised of reading outlines, terms to define, and practice problems corresponding to the assigned chapter material. Homework outlines will be checked in class periodically and will be collected on the date of the corresponding chapter quiz.

Homework outlines will be graded based on both completeness and accuracy. Students who fail to show their solution steps when instructed to do so will not be awarded credit for practice problems.

Homework outlines constitute 50% of the overall course grade. All homework outline due dates are listed in the syllabus (see lecture and assignment schedule).

Chapter Quizzes

A take-home chapter quiz will be given at the end of every chapter. Students who have an excused absence or have given prior notice of absence on the day of a quiz will be provided with a PDF copy of the quiz to complete at home. Chapter quizzes constitute 35% of the overall course grade.
