Pre-Calculus

The following is a complete list of all assignments section-by-section for the Pre-Calculus textbook.  Section assignments will be given each week in class.  The student is responsible for noting which sections are covered in lecture and which sections are assigned for homework each week

Students are encouraged to work through the assignments at a pace faster than in lecture.  The student is responsible for notifying the instructor when it is time to take the chapter exams and scheduling an appropriate time for the exam.
