There will be 8 or 9 assignments. Will drop off lowest grade. There will be about 4 quizzes, a team midterm presentation, an individual presentation and/or a final exam. Participation in class discussions is crucia and will count for 10%. |
|
The team presentation will center around chapters of the book. Choose
a chapter
(1-4, or 9-11) and a team. Divide the chapter pages among you. Work on a
presentation to the class.
The individual presentation can be on a similar topic from additional readings you would find on the net or in the library. Turn in a 3-5 page paper with it. Presentations should be limited to 5 minutes a person (hard to do). So rehearse among you so the material flows naturally out of you without a need to look at your notes. You may like to use a PowerPoint presentation which facilitates the flow of information. If you do not want to present, think of a good alternative, like introducing a puzzle to the class. Good luck! |

All open labs are open
I do not guarantee these hours are current. Just make sure you do mostly university work there or
net control will get you...:)
