Lectures
and Assignments
The links below will guide you to specific lectures and assignments for this semester – familiarize yourself with what’s needed. If you have questions, please check the FAQ (frequently asked questions) before e-mailing me. If you don’t find the answer to your question, email (quickest) me or call my office and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Remember though, if you are doing your assignment late the night before it’s due and you call or email me, I might not get your question for 12 to 24 hours. Read and look over the assignments before the due date – not knowing what to do does not excuse a late assignment.
