Class Procedures:
- If you are going to miss class, please let me know
via email or a phone
call.
This way I can let you know about any important changes in the class
schedule.
- When you miss class, you are still responsible for
the material covered
in
class. I recommend that you have someone pick up the class handouts for
you
and make a copy of the notes they take. I will not provide copies of my
lecture material other than what you find on this web site.
- Since I don't have office hours, you can send email
to me if you
have problems with homework or other questions related to this course.
- There is a lot of material to cover in a short period
of time and not
all
topics will be covered at the depth desired in class. Therefore, it is
essential that you read the book, do the homework, and review the
handouts
given in class.
- Feel free to ask questions during the lecture.
- All exams will be closed book. More specifics on the
exams will be
given in
class. Calculators will not be allowed on the first exam.
- If you suspect the class may be canceled due to
weather, please call
the EE
office at Washington University or call me. We will follow Washington
University's snow schedule, not UMSL's.
