Short questions can often be answered after class. In addition, you are welcome to make appointments to see me at other times. Finally, if you are willing to take a chance that I am busy or not in, you can simply drop by my office.
First, READ THE BOOK . You should read each section before we talk about it in class, then again after class, before doing the homework for the section. If you have any trouble understanding it, read it several times, first, quickly for an overall idea what the section is about, then in detail, working out the examples the book uses to make sure you know why each statement is true. Only after this should you start the homework. You may be pleasantly surprised how much easier the homework is with this sort of preparation. You will certainly understand the material better and retain more of it, if you study in this way.
Second, regular attendance and class participation will be expected. The only way to learn mathematics is to do it. You should make sure you understand the homework assigned. I will answer questions about it in class, before or after class, or in office hours.
There will be a 10 minute quiz each Friday which is not an exam day. Approximately 3 homework assigments will be given each week, depending upon the number of sections in the book which we cover during the week. If you do the homework when it is assigned, you should have no trouble with the quizzes and tests, and you will find that lectures are easier to understand.
Your grade will be determined by your scores on 4 in-class tests, worth 100 points each, on your ten best quizzes, worth 10 points each, and a comprehensive final exam, worth 200 points, for a total of 700 points possible.
