Student learning goals
General method of instruction
Lectures and lab
Recommended preparation
Do the assigned homework and work extra problems if you're having trouble. Prepare for lab sessions in advance.
Class assignments and grading
Homework is primarily drawn from problems in the text. Lab assignments are a set of tasks that must be completed in the 3-hour period. The lab instructor decides whether or not the tasks have been completed. There are no lab reports.
Fixed grading scale (not curved). Distribution of total points is as follows:
