Please use the course discussion board to discuss concepts, questions, specific issues about assignments, and so forth. Don't post solutions or parts of solutions though. There is also a class mailing list for announcements.

Topics

Assignments and Turnin

Some assignments will include "extra credit" sections. These will enrich your understanding of the material, but deliberately will provide scant credit in proportion to the work required. Do them for what you'll learn beyond the basics, not the points, and don't even think about starting the extra credit portion until the main problems are complete.

Exams

The midterm will be in class Friday May 4. The sections the day before will be review sessions.

The final will be in the regular classroom, June 7, 8:30-10:20am. The last regular lecture, on June 1, will be a course recap and review for the final. There will also be an optional question-and-answer review session the afternoon of June 6, 4:30-5:20, Sieg 134.

Course Topic Summary (and final exam study checklist)
Final; answer key

For both the midterm and the final, you can bring a maximum of 2 (single sided) pages of notes. No laptops, tablets, or smart phones. The notes could just be printouts of materials from the class website, but preparing your own notes is a great way to review.

For practice exams, see previous offerings of the course. The mini-exercises are also good study material.
