Grading: |
weekly
homework assignments (50%), midterm exam (25%), final exam (25%) |
|
Homework: |
Since the
purpose of the homework is to gain better understanding of the material, you
may discuss the homework with other students, but you must write up the homework
solutions on your own. Copying homework from another student or from any
other source is a violation of academic integrity. Homework will be assigned
each week and will be due the following Tuesday in class. No late homework
will be accepted for any reason, including excused absence. Missing or
late homework will be given a grade of 0; to allow for one absence or other
circumstances, the lowest homework grade will be dropped. |

Exam dates: |
Midterm:
Thursday, Mar. 10, 1:30-2:45. Final exam:
Friday, May 6, 9:00-12:00. |
