Homework/Lab Assignments
One homework assignment and one lab are assigned every week. Lab assignments should be typed unless otherwise noted. These are each due at the beginning of class one week after they have been assigned. Late homework assignments and labs maybe turned in for review but will receive a grade of zero. Reading will be assigned almost every class period. It will be necessary to complete the reading to effectively complete the homework assignments.

Exams:
There will be two in-class midterms tentatively scheduled for the 4th and the 12thweeks of the semester. These midterms will consist of problem solving and short answer questions. Midterms may be made-up if extenuating circumstances apply.
