You are expected to take notes in class.
It is recommended that you re-write your class notes as
part of your study process. Your notes, homework and any
handouts are to be compiled into a permanent notebook for
your future reference and turned in for grading. In order
to receive maximum points for your notebook, you must:
| 1) |
have your
notes bound |
| 2) |
have a cover page and
title page |
| 3) |
have a Table of
Contents |
| 4) |
have your class notes,
homework problems and any related handouts
organized by topic per your Table of Contents |
| 5) |
packaged with postage
for return mailing to you. |
The average student should allot a minimum of 8
hours per week of out-of-class time for any course of
this complexity to attain a thorough grasp of the
important topics.
Ask meaningful questions at any time

to be bound for your permanent records and therefore
avoid making notations in the left margin of your
homework and notes.
Avoid writing on both sides of the paper.
Avoid putting more than one problem on a page.
