In class … On time… Be ready to At least 6 hours per week At least 6 hours per week on out of class work Complete class assignments and problems on handouts Get help early from your instructor or tutor Form a study group and meet regularly THINK !!!

The course webpage For great resources Laboratory manual available FREE online as pdf – Also links to interactive support materials

In small groups... Each group must invent a new unit of measurement Use the new unit to determine the area of the classroom Compare your group’s unit to another What is the conversion factor between the two different units? How would other students in another place be able to use your unit?
