MTWRF (5-hour class).
•Your course information sheet should be neatly typed, with boldface headings.
•It should be articulate and literate, not leaving anything unexplained.
•You should attach the university syllabus supplement to the back of it.
•You should have all the major subdivisions: exam schedule (pick the dates of
exams for Spring, 2004), homework (what about late homework?), quiz policy,
noise in class, attendance, etc.
•Include a list of sections and dates they will be covered.
3. Find a teacher of MATH 2103 and arrange a time to observe a class. Prepare an
evaluation form for that class and turn it in during our next class.
