Can we have more than four members in our homework group? No more than four people in each group. No exceptions.

Can I complete my homework individually? Yes.

Should I turn in a problem set after its due date? Problem sets handed in after solutions are posted will not be graded.

Can I attend class with a section other than my own? Please attend your assigned section’s lectures only. In case of serious conflict you can ask for permission to attend the other section’s lecture by sending me email. To request a permanent change of sections you must contact the registrar.

I am going to have to miss a lecture, what should I do? Copy the class notes from a classmate. Attend office hours or email me should you have questions. Handouts are posted on Canvas.

If I use the optional textbook, what should I read? A guide is posted on Canvas. Look in the “files” section.

Do I need a calculator for the course? How about spreadsheets? For the exams, you will need a calculator with the exponential function. You can use your favorite spreadsheet program to complete homework assignments, but no computer other than a calculator can be used in the exams.

If your question is still unanswered, please ask me in person or send me email.
