Homework:

Homework will be presented by you during class. The problems will be assigned in class the day before they are due. Each of you will present at least one problem for each chapter. When you present you will be expected to:

Read and interpret the problem
Identify the concepts or formulas needed to solve the problem
Develop, with the class, a plan to solve the problem
Solve, with class assistance if necessary, the problem
Evaluate the solution
