Warning

If you want to pass, here is what you should expect to do:

  • Take it serious!
  • Come to class, (almost) always
  • Pay attention while in class. If you don’t understand something ASK
  • After each class, spend at least one hour to go over what was discussed. If there is anything you don’t understand, ASK about it in the next class, or come to the office hours. You can not expect to understand this material just by sitting in class and listening, you have to work through it again on your own later.
  • Do all of the quizzes. Not only are they worth many points, the exam problems will be quite similar to the quiz problems.
