注意事項 Notice for Students | | The course might be (partially) online.
Homework is crucial for mastering new material and developing skills in applying concepts. Weekly homework will be either on paper or electronic. Homework is due at the beginning of class on the due date. A general guideline says an average of 2 to 3 hours of study time per week is necessary for each 1 credit hour.
Exams focus on problem-solving, and exam questions will be similar to the homework problems. Exam grades will be posted in the Gradebook on the Course website before the next class period. |
