The discussion will entail group/cooperative learning among the students on discussion sheets designed specifically for that 2-hour period. In general, it is NOT a time to work on homework problems from lecture class. The problems in discussion will range in difficulty from average to challenging. There will be no outside homework required nor exams given. Periodic, announced quizzes will be given. It is an opportunity for students to work together on problems requiring cooperation and creativity. This course will

  2. be graded on a P/NP basis, except for Davis Honors Challenge (DHC) students who will receive a grade, and will be taken in addition to the regularly scheduled lectures and discussions for Math 21B.
