  • Information [pdf] in printable form, updated for Fall, 2007. Text(s), office hours, syllabus, grading and attendance policies.
  • Class topics, assignments, and important dates
  • Exams from the current semester
  • First Exam and the solution key.
  • Second Exam and the solution key.
  • Third Exam and the solution key.
  • The online course and instructor evaluation forms will soon be available and my supplemental questions will also be distributed in class (but only what you put online gets counted or read!).
  • Exams from past semesters
    Note that the text and syllabus in 2001 and 2002 were quite a bit different, so these may be of limited utility. The text from 2003 through the Spring of 2007 was more similar to the one we are using now, but nonetheless different. All are in pdf format, which may show up badly on screen (they do on mine), but should print out clearly. Let me know if there are problems. Notice that Mr. Robert Murphy was the instructor in the period Fall, 2005 through Spring, 2007, and he had his own point of view.
