    Daily Quiz

    This course is divided into on-line prerecorded lectures in addition to the regular in-person session. I ask you to listen to the narration of the notes (generally a whole lot shorter than a 75 minute lecture, as I tend to leave out all the fun stories) and answer a daily quiz associated with that lecture in Canvas. It is a lot easier if you look at the quiz questions before listening to the lecture, which is fine - but you really do need to listen to the lecture! You will get two tries at each quiz before the in-person class, and one try after (both the before [better of the pair] and after lecture quizzes count). The cumulative quiz score at the end of the semester will count the same as the mid-term, so don't forget to do them!

    Our scheduled in-person class will be reserved for demonstrations, stories, answering questions, help on homework, etc. - all the fun stuff. We will also be solving the "problem of the day" in class to give you extra practice in setting up and solving things.

    Homework Assignments
