•Wait until the teacher finishes and officially dismisses you with:

“Ok, I’ll see you tomorrow- Have a nice day.”

•Pick up all of your belongings and put all trash in the proper place (i.e. not the floor)

Problem of the week1. The problems will (usually) be posted on Fridays, and will (usually)

be due on the Monday 10 days later. 2. Each week one “winner” will be chosen from among the

submitted student solutions.3. Points will be assigned to every submitted student solution, and at

the end of the quarter there will be a lottery in which 3 students will receive prizes , and where a student’s chances of winning is proportional to the number of points accumulated by the student.

4. Students submitting solutions must obtain their solutions through their own work.

5. “Problem of the Week Party” at end of semester.
