Section Schedule


Before every class, make sure to complete the pre-class assignment. These assignments will be turned in at the start of class. During class, we will be discussing the pre-class assignment and working on worksheets. These Problem Sets will not be graded nor required to be submitted. For Homework Assignments, please see the relevant section on Blackboard.
