Here are the suggested assignments–but please be aware that your instructor may make changes to this in class!
Each ROW in the homework plan below corresponds to one day’s homework for the daytime sections. Since the evening section only meets two days/week, you will be assigned two “rows” of homework on each class day. PLEASE try to do these on two separate days if you can: doing both parts at once is too much, and you will learn less from it. Please remember that late homework will receive a “check minus,” and homework that is more than two class days late may not be accepted (unless, of course, you have a good excuse for handing it in late). If you notice any mistakes, please use the Contact/Feedback link at the bottom of this page, or inform your instructor!

4.
