  • Policies: Attendance is required and contributes to the final grade. Four classes may be missed without affecting this grade. Absence in more than half of the classes results in failing the whole course.
    The daily homework assignment will consist of a reading assignment and a problem assignment. One or two problems of the daily problem assignment have to be completed online via the eCompanion of the course at http://usaonline.southalabama.edu. The time frame for this completion begins after the lecture in which the problem was assigned, and ends one hour before the next lecture. The homework problems and the textbook examples that appear in the reading assignment form the basis for the test problems.
    Every week on Thursday, a set of problems will be handed out. These have to be completed and handed back the next Monday. The problem set will consist of two to three problems. Their solutions are supposed to contain detailed explanations of all necessary steps using complete English sentences.
    Eating, drinking, and smoking is not permitted in the classroom. The use of electronic devices such as laptops, i-pods, cellphones, or calculators is not allowed unless explicitly stated by the professor.
