	'''Experimental teaching methods and surveys'''. I will be experimenting with two different technology based teaching methods that have created myself. I call them [[Kindle_In_The_Classroom\|Kindle In The Classroom]] and [[Using_Mediawiki_In_The_Classroom\|Mediawiki In The Classroom]]. Click on links to learn more about these methods. The success of the experiments will be assessed with periodic surveys. For my surveys, students are invited to anonymously answer a numerical question (e.g. On a scale of 0 to 10, how effective is this method?) and solicited to provide any written feedback that they deem helpful. Survey results will be published on this website and will be discussed in class, during the next class after the survey is administered.		'''Experimental teaching methods and surveys'''.

	'''Academic integrity:''' You are expected to make each homework assignment a good learning experience, enforced by the honor system. You can discuss homework, and give and receive hints to and from other students on homework, but after getting help, do the assignments yourself and hand in your own work. The textbook has solutions to its problems in the appendix. For textbook problems, (other problems will come from elsewhere), the obvious caveats apply: peek at the answer only after you wrestle with the problem first. Don't copy the answer! The textbook answers are terse. If you fail to find the answer on your own, then it will suffice if you explain each step in the textbook solution. (But please try the problem on your own first.) The midterm assessment will be a take home exam. Unlike for the homework sets, for the take home exam, no interaction with other students is permitted. The final assessment will be a project, interaction with other students is not only permitted, but encouraged. But give due credit to those who have substantially helped you.
