The exams:
The exams are closed book. Crib sheets are not allowed.
You may not use any notes of your own during an exam.
Calculators are not allowed. All work must be shown.
I may attach a formula sheet to each exam booklet.
If I attach a formula sheet, then it will contain
very little information. In order to do well on the
exams, you will have to memorize many formulas and
computational procedures.
The workshops:
During the Tuesday recitation, you will work in small groups
on the workshop problems for that day. Your teaching
assistant will tell you which of the workshop problems
must be written up.
You have to do the writeup without consulting other people, even
though you worked on the workshop problems in small groups during
the Tuesday class. The writeup must be in your own words, and
the exposition is just as important as the mathematics. The
writeup must consist of complete English sentences arranged in
coherent paragraphs. The writeup is due at the start of the
next recitation. Late writeups will not be accepted.
The textbook homework:
The homework problems will be announced during lecture (usually
on Thursday). They will be due at the next recitation. Late
homework will not be accepted.
