Homework
There will be weekly homework assignments due on Thursday. They will be
posted on the course website and on bCourses at least one week prior to their
due date. They are to be turned in at the beginning of class (within the
first 10 minutes of class, i.e. 2:20pm) on Thursday,
or in my office prior to 1:45pm, either in person or
by sliding it under my door.
Late homework will not be accepted under any circumstance. However, your two
lowest homework grades will not be included in the final grade calculation.
Discussing
the problems with other students is encouraged, but each student must write
solutions on his/her own. Please acknowledge who you collaborated with by
writing their names on the top of your homework before turning it in. Copying
solutions, either from other students or from solutions obtained from the
internet or any other source, will be
considered cheating. Talking about the problem
or explaining the ideas is acceptable, but reading any solutions
(or having it read to you), either by another student or from any other
source, will be considered cheating.
It is expected that what you turn in for your homework is a final draft.
That means it should be written neatly or typed, with complete sentences,
problems should be in the order that they were assigned, and multiple pages
should be stapled together. It is your
responsibility to make it as easy as possible for the grader to understand you.
If the grader cannot immediately find a problem to be graded because it is not
logically arranged, then you will receive a 0 on that problem.
Exams
There will be two midterm exams on Thursday, February 18 and Thursday, March
31. Both will be in class. The final exam
is Monday, May 9 at 11:30am-2:30pm.
In the case of a fire alarm during either of the midterms or the final exam,
leave your exams in the room, face down, before evacuating. Under no
circumstances should you take the exam with you.
Grading
The final grade will be computed as follows:
- Homework (15%)
- Midterm 1 (20%)
- Midterm 2 (20%)
- Final Exam (45%)
If the final exam score is higher than either midterm score, the lowest
midterm score will be replaced by the mean of the score and the final exam
score. This effectively means your lowest midterm score can count for 10% of
your grade and the final exam for 55% of your grade.
bCourses
Important announcements regarding exams and homework assignments may be
posted on bCourses. It is your responsibility to check bCourses regularly. You
may configure bCourses to notify you via e-mail. To see how, see the
tutorial on
notifications.
Special Accommodations
If you have a documented disability and require special accommodations of
any kind, please e-mail me as soon as possible, and no later than Friday,
February 5.
