FINAL EXAM (Chapters 1-

LECTURE and READING QUIZZES: In
order for you to In order for you to learn from and participate in the discussion of
material covered in lecture it will be very important for you to come to lecture
prepared by having read the reading assignment for each lecture. Many short reading quizzes will be given (about one per week with most at
the beginning of lecture) which will test whether you have read the assignments
and done the related checkpoint questions, and as a result become
familiar
with the terminology and basic concepts of that assignment.
The Reading Quizzes will not include any problems (unless
they relate to checkpoint questions) and there will be no make-ups given.;
These quizzes will be collected and although it is impractical to
“grade” these quizzes, the work in a quiz will be checked off and you will
receive credit for its completion.
If your course grade is on a border line, your quiz record
will be important.
HOMEWORK: The listed questions and problems from
each chapter are to be considered to be homework assignments which you should do
as you read the reading assignment for each lecture. They will not be collected or graded, but several questions similar to
the homework (and "Learning Checks" found in each chapter) will appear
on the exams. (Note that the
solutions and answers to the odd-numbered problems are found at the back of your
text.
