The dates below are deadlines for the exams and any homework assignments associated with the lessons. Blackboard shows the exact times the assignments close; assignments close at 11:00 pm Pacific Time on the day they are due. Because I do not allow make-up assignments, you should complete all assignments at least 24 hours before the deadlines in case Blackboard is unavailable or some other technical or personal problem arises on the day the assignment is due. Indeed, if you want, you can finish the entire course before the first assignment is due!

Access the lectures and homework assignments by clicking on the lessons below.

Homework FAQs:

Q: How do I know if there is a homework assignment associated with a lesson?

A: After you click on one of the lessons below, look at the "To Do List" near the upper right of the page. If there is no "Homework" link, then there is no homework assignment. If there is a "Homework" link, then there is an assignment. To complete the assignment, click on that "Homework" link . For some assignments, that link will ask you to just continue on to Blackboard; for other assignments, that homework link will display additional information.

Q: Where do I submit the homework assignments?

A: All assignments and quizzes are submitted in Blackboard. To submit a homework assignment, log on to Blackboard, click on “Assessments” and then scroll down. (The final homework assignment is “Homework 17.2”; if you do not see “Homework 17.2” at the bottom of the Assessments page, then change the “paging preferences” by clicking on the little icon in the lower right corner so that all of the exams and homework assignments appear on the same page. You should then be able to scroll up and down the page to find the exam or homework assignment you want.)
