Course Mechanics:


How This Course Works:
My job is to help you to figure out this subject. Your job is to ask questions if you are lost. That means you are supposed to ask questions, no matter how supposedly dumb. You can be assured that any question you think up, there are at least 20 people out there who are desperately glad that you asked.



Important Details:

1. Class starts at 8:10AM. Please be on time.
   
   
2. Office Hours: My office is 725 Evans Hall, which is the Mathematics Building. My office hours are Tuesday and Thursday : 9:30-11:00. Please try to come see me during those hours. If you need to see me, but can't make those hours, come talk to me after class.
   
   
3. Grades/Exams There will be two midterms and one final, as well as homework and an occasional quiz in section. The grade breakdown is:
   
   Homework/Quizzes: 10%, Each Midterm: 25%, Final: 40%
   
   
4. It is difficult to give Incompletes. University regulations require that you have must have a compelling reason for an incomplete, plus at least a C- at the time the incomplete is granted. The C- requirement can be waived in *exceptional circumtances*, such as "Martians landed in my dorm room and I had to choose between studying math or defending Earth."
