Overall assignment for the semester: You are to view all the assigned videos, read all of the following pages from the text book, doing all exercises and problems. As you read each section, you should prepare notes. Then you should use those notes to take the assigned quizzes.

Most of the videos for the course are from the Khan Academy (http://www.khanacademy.org). Be sure to make use of the "Pactice this Concept" button on the videos that have one.

For the earlier sections of the course we take you to large groups of videos from which you should choose the topics you have trouble with in the book. In the later sections, where specific video links are given, you must do each of the videos.

Assignment Schedule (subject to change during the semester):
Do the quizzes by the indicated due date. Quizzes with live links are ready to take.
