Quiz and Homework Information:

Homeworks:
- I will not be collecting the homework. It is up to you to stay motivated.
- For some homework problems, answers will be available. Even so, you should try to work out the problem by yourself before consulting the answer guide.
- You are encouraged to discuss homework assignments with other students and collaborate, but there should be no copying. The solutions should be written up independently.
- The homework assignments can be found at Prof. Moreno-Flores's webpage . They will be posted as the class progresses.
Summary Sheets:
- I recommend that students do the following to help them prepare for exams. You should do these weekly as you complete the homework. Students should make summary sheets for the sections covered by the homework. These summary sheets are meant to include all the information from a given section that you would need to study for an exam, and should certainly include all important definitions and statement of theorems, as well as some discussion of the types of problems encountered in that section and strategies used to solve them. Students that have written these in the past have found them very useful for learning the material and studying for the exams.
Quizzes:
- There will be a quiz during discussion section every Tuesday with a few exceptions. It will cover the material from lecture the week before.
- If you miss discussion, you miss the quiz. No make-up quizzes will be given.
- Solutions will be posted here in a timely manner.
- No calculators or electronic devices of any kind!
- Solutions:

You should check this out. Be sure to have the sound on.

Handouts:

If I pass out any handouts during discussion, you will also find them here.
- Handout #1 This is the "How to be successful in your math class" handout.

Discussion Section Grade:

The discussion section grade will be determined primarily from your quiz scores. If we do any worksheets/group work during the semester, that will be factored in also.

Your discussion section grade makes up 15% of your overall course grade.
