Definitions
- "With reading": Do these problems after you read a section, in preparation for class. Do not turn your solutions in.
- "Practice": Do these problems after the section has been covered in class. These problems are generally a little more challenging than the ones assigned with the reading. Do not turn your solutions in. But doing these problems will prepare you for the section quizzes.
- You must also do the online homework assignments. Those assignments contribute to your "Online Homework" grade.
