Workshop Assignments

Workshop problems are primarily what distinguish the Quest course from the ordinary course. These problems are more challenging than normal webwork or exercises in the textbook. Each workshop will meet once a week for at least one and a half hours (2 hours at most) starting the week of September 14-18. Attendance is mandatory. The workshops will be run by the course teaching assistants.

The workshop problems will be given to you in advance of the workshop (They will be posted online below). You are expected to have read and made some progress on the problems before you arrive at the workshop. In the workshop, you will share your ideas with others in a small group (to be assigned by the professor in the first week of classes), and work together to solve the problems. Your TA will check on each group's progress, answer questions, give hints and feedback, and clarify technical details. Your TA will not "give" you the answer to any of the workshop problems.

Each of you will write up solutions individually. It is important that you write up solutions in your own words. You should explain not only what you did, but why you decided to do what you did. You should think of this as an opportunity to reflect on the process that will lead you to a correct solution to similar problems. Workshop problems will be handed to the professor in class each Monday.
