Homework:

 

Homework will be assigned for each section we cover in class. It is your responsibility to go to www.coursecompass.com and complete all assigned problems. This is the minimum; you are encouraged to try other problems for further practice. You are also expected to read all sections that we cover in class. You may use a calculator on homework (especially to check your answers), but be sure that you can do all problems without a calculator (remember, you will not have a calculator for exams).  In addition, some online problems may be presented in a multiple choice format; be aware that you may encounter similar problems on exams in

short-answer format; it is your responsibility to make sure you can complete these problems regardless of presentation.

Homework assigned in a given class must be completed (with the possible exception of a few problems about which you have questions) before the next class. However, no penalty will be assessed for assignments completed by the Wednesday following the due date. Since you will be submitting homework online and can submit problems as you complete them, late homework will NOT be accepted (if you have a sustained, documented emergency that you discuss with me before the due date, I may choose to grant alternate arrangements; however, this is at my sole discretion).

 

You are encouraged to discuss concepts and problems from the textbook with others. Note that coursecompass.com will create a slightly different problem for each student. You may NOT discuss your exact problem with anyone (besides your instructor). However, you may discuss the corresponding problem from the book (which should be quite similar!). BE WARNED: most exam problems will require similar reasoning to problems in the homework. If you rely too heavily on someone else while completing the homework, your lack of understanding will be evident on the exams. Ultimately, to succeed on exams, you should be able to do all homework problems without help from any source (ie. without your textbook, calculator, friend, etc.).
