Topic and lecture materials |
Homework:
is to be
turned in before the lecture. Homework problems are taken from the Problem
section, not discussion questions (unless labeled “Q..”) |
Recommended
Problems will not
be collected but should be considered good prep for tests and quizzes |
Learning
Checks open
after lecture, and will close right before the next lecture. |
Materials due for lab: pre-labs
are to be turned in at the beginning of lab; spreadsheets and graphs are due
by 4 pm Fridays. |
