Grading:
Homework 40%
Midterm 20%
Final exam 30%
Class Participation 10%
Rules:
There will be a homework set assigned every Tuesday which will be due at the
beginning of class the following Tuesday. You are encouraged to work together
on solving the homework problems but the final write up must be your own.
Homework which is one day late can earn a maximum of 75 % of the total score,
two days late 50 %, three days late 0. Homework turned in after the Tuesday
class is considered 1 day late. The purpose of this policy is to allow your
TA to discuss solutions during the Thursday discussion time. Your lowest score
won't count towards your grade, so you can skip one homework completely if
you are sick/travelling/busy, etc.
You'll be allowed to bring in one single-sided page of notes (8.5 x 11) into
the mid-term. For the final you can have notes on both sides.
