This table has been filled in using last semester as a guide. It will change as the semester progresses. Basically, items in italic are tentative. When formally assigned, the font will change to bold. Reading are listed under the date that the material will be introduced. Ideally, you will have read the material before coming to class. Typically, you will be quizzed on the material at the next class meeting.
Unless otherwise noted, homework is work recommended to prepare you for the daily quizzes on the date given. That is, you should do the homework prior to the date it is listed. This is what will be the basis for that day's quiz. Normally, homework will not be collected. However, anything marked "TURN IN" will be collected.
