Homework Assignments

End of Chapter Questions and Problems: These problems will be assigned twice a week and will consist mostly of odd problems from the "questions and problems" section at the end of each chapter. Unless otherwise stated, each assignment will be due 2 lecture periods after they are assigned. In other words, homework assigned on a Monday will be due on Wednesday and homework assigned on a Wednesday will be due the following Monday. These assignments can be turned in one lecture period late for half credit. The odd number exercises are similar to the even ones so if you get stuck, try the even numbered ones and check your answer at the end of the book. Make usre to staple all homework pages togerther.

Reading Assignments: It is important that you read the assigned material BEFORE that material is covered in lecture. My lectures are designed with the assumption that you have read the assigned material and are at least partially familiar with the concepts covered in the reading. You do NOT need to fully understand the reading. It is a good idea to read the assignments again after they are covered in lecture to help cement the concepts in your mind.

Miscellaneous Assignments : Throughout the semester, there will be addition work assigned which will not be from the book. If the assignment is a worksheet, you can click on it (under "What is Assigned") to download the worksheet or on the link to the left (the date assigned will be in the link title). Pleas DO NOT turn in your answer on the worksheets; complete the assignments on separate pieces of paper. Please put your name on the assignments, write everything legibly, and staple all sheets of paper together (You don NOT need to include the assignment pages that you downloaded).
