Students are required to attend the vast majority of lectures,
read (and maybe present) some of the course material, and participate 
in practical projects. 
<P>
There will be reading assignments for almost every lecture during 
the course. The first few minutes of each lecture will be dedicated 
to a discussion of the material just read. One student will be 
responsible for answering the other students' questions. 
<!--Be prepared 
for surprise quizzes if I feel that people are not actually reading 
the material. The practical projects, quizzes, presentations, and a 
final exam will make up the students' grades.-->
