General Overview of the Assignments
The section on Assignment Details gives you weekly guide to your study. You should schedule time each week to complete the assignments. [Note: if you were enrolled in a traditional section you would have three hours in class plus homework and study time so in scheduling your time for this section, I suggest that a normal week should involve a minimum of ten hours.]
| 1. | Read the Chapters that are referenced. Work through the examples. Be sure to consult the Assignment Details for the more specific requirements. |
| 2. | Work the practice problems that are referenced for each Chapter. Check your solutions with those in the text. Work the Homework problems - the practice problems will help with the homework. |
| 3. | Review the notes. You might find some of the notes that are linked under Assignment Details to be helpful in solving problems - especially for using Excel. |
| 4. | Ask questions. There are at least three ways to get help. 1) Send an e-mail message to me anytime. You will receive a prompt answer. You are also welcome to come by the office. 2) Got to the lab and get help from the TA. 3) I hope that we can get some discussion regarding the problems on the LISTSERV so if you have a question about a homework problem, direct it to the LISTSERV, and if you know the answer to a problem that is posted to the LISTSERV, please answer it. I will monitor the LISTSERV and will comment and answer questions, as required. |
Grades will be based on homework assignments, a team project and an examination.

Submitting
Assignments
Submit assignments via e-mail.
1. Name your
file in accordance with the following policy.
If it is not named properly, I will send it
back and this process may result in a late submission.
It is IMPORTANT to use the naming convention for this course to ensure you get credit for the assignment. I have two on-line classes and many assignments are being submitted.
The convention is:
LASTNAME3365H#Example: Ms. Smiths file for homework 1 would be:
Smith 3365 H1
2. The subject
of the e-mail should be
the same as the file name: Smith 3365 H1
If it is not named properly, I will
send it back and this process may result in a late submission.
3. Submit as a
single Excel or Word attachment to: cgoodson@uh.edu
IMPORTANT
You should send only one file per assignment. Do not put answers in the body of
the e-mail. Be sure to show your work. If I can click on a cell and see a
formula, that counts as showing work.
You may establish an e-mail account through ITCS.
