Homework

The homework for this course will consist of web homework and problems from our textbook. The exams have problems to solve that are either exactly the same as the homework or similar to homework problems. Being able to do the homework problems is the best way to increase the chances of doing well on exams. It is important to solve all of the problems before they are covered on exams. Your instructor only assigns problems that could appear on exams and your instructor tries very hard to cover all parts of the homework assignments somewhere on the exams.
