Time Required for this Course:
For Success in a course such as this a student is required
at least two hours of concentrated work outside of class for
every scheduled hour of lecture plus additional time for
Labs.
Attendance:
Regular attendance at all lectures is highly recommended.
Students will be held responsible for information and
announcements made in the classroom. It will be very difficult to
score highly
on the quizzes and tests if you do not attend the lectures.
ABSENCE: If you are
absent (without excuse ) more than twice you should drop the course as
you will receive a "F" grade for the whole course.
Homework:
Reading from the text and other sources will be assigned at each class.
Problems from the text, with the possibility of problems in the form of
a handout, will also be assigned with the reading. Homework will not be
collected, but will be checked in the beginning of each class. The
quizzes and tests will not be easy if you have not done the
assigned problems.
You are encouraged to participate in study groups, helping each other
is a great way to learn.
Quizzes:
The quiz will be an example or homework style problem and
20 minutes will be allotted for each quiz.

Hints
for Success in this course
1. Good Attitude.
2. Review your algebra and trigonometry
3. Read the text book with pencil and paper . Learn to
derive the equations. This way you can relate them to each
other better and you will remember them much easier.
4. Go through the examples. First without looking at the
solutions. Next see the way author has solved them. Make sure you can
do it on your own.
5. Workout the problems assigned from the end of chapter.
Quizzes and exams problems,
are very similar to the examples and assigned problems.
