Homework Homework will be due in my box by the time class begins. I expect you to complete and hand in only your own homework. Some assignments will be natural to do together, but please write your own solutions. Please do all assigned problems.

Tutorials On Tuesdays and Thursdays (4:30-5:50), the tutors will hold tutorials. These may include a quiz, questions and discussion, supplemental material, or simply review. These sessions are not optional, but they are informal. It may sound hokey, but they really are useful times to solidify your understanding with a helpful peer. Stay tuned for locations. The tutors are Gary Kilper, Megan Wachspress, and Nathan Czuba.

Electronic Resources Your will have two resources; there is chalk, and there is my website, which is at http://www.math.uchicago.edu/~crisman/math112. There will be assignments, various documents, and other useful class information online. Also, check your email; it is part of the class.

Late Stuff You will be allowed one late homework per quarter, due the following class period. Please do not come to class late; if you do, please enter quietly.

What is the 'other stuff?' This is mostly homework, but also includes graded quizzes or other duties.

There will be a project using what we've learned.You will have a wide variety of things to try, so pick something that sounds fun!

And finally:

"Not many of you should presume to be teachers; we who teach will be judged more strictly."

I take this blurb from St. James seriously; please help your fellow students take this class seriously by respecting them in class.
