Each regular lesson has a submitted assignment consisting of assigned problems from the textbook reading for that lesson. Self-check exercises with answer keys in the textbook. Follow each section of the chapters and allow students to monitor their own progress and prepare for the submitted assignments. |
EXAMINATIONS:
The
course has supervised midcourse and final examinations. Each
exam consists of problems similar to those in the lesson writing
assignments. Students may bring and use a simple calculator,
but no other books, notes, or supplementary aids are permitted.
Two hours is allowed for each exam.
