There will be numerous in-class exercises and activities throughout the semester that
students will complete in small groups. These exercises will not be graded. However,
students' participation in them will be recorded so that a total out of the possible 1 point
for this portion of class grade can be determined. Students will be allowed to miss only
one of these in-class exercises and still earn all 1 points. These exercises will not be
announced in advance, and there will be no opportunity to make up an exercise if student
miss class that day.
Course Requirements:
