The exams:

You may not use any notes during an exam.
Calculators are not allowed. All work must be shown.
We will NOT provide formula sheets for exams.
The workshops:
During the Wednesday 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 Wednesday 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 Friday). They will be due at the next recitation. Late
homework will not be accepted.
