Extra Credit: At the beginning of each class period, list up to three of the previous day’s homework problems on the board that you could not get.  You can put the solution to another student’s problem on the board and explain it to the rest of the class for one test point extra credit.

Calculator assignments will be group projects.  If someone from your group does not contribute to a project, the other group members can unanimously request in writing that this person be dropped from the next project.  In this case, the dropped person will have to complete the next project as an individual.
