Grading Policy
Your course grade is the sum of following performance scores: The homeworks will count as 20% of the course grade; The in-class quizzes will count as 20%; The midterm will count as 30%; and the final exam will count as 30%.
Quizzes: During the term, there are several in-class quizzes. The day of a quiz is not completely fixed. The duration of a quiz ranges from 30 to 50 minutes. The quiz scores will be averaged and contributed to the course grade. Generally there is no make-up quiz.
Homework: Homework questions and due date are posted in the following Tentative Syllabus of this web page which will be updated very often. Homework is due weekly before class of each Friday or the time and date specified in the Tentative Syllabus. It is your responsibility to check the updated Tentative Syllabus before the specified due date. Late handing in homework will not be accepted. One lowest homework score will be dropped and the remaining homework scores will be averaged and contributed to the course grade. You can discuss with other students while working on your homework problems, but copying other students' answers is not allowed, otherwise a penalty of score deduction may be given. Your solution to each homework problem should be legible and describe your ideas clearly. No details will have no scores. Please use 8.5" by 11" sheets to do your homework and don't forget to write down your first name, middle name and last name (In order to protect your rights to confidentiality of your papers, don't write down your ID number on homework paper.) on each page. Your homework will be returned in class. Poor attendance may alter this policy; see "Attendance" below.
Exam and tests: There are a midterm and a final exam.
For each
exam
(including quizzes), you can bring a 8.5" by 11" sheet with
formulae
or useful notes for you, but independent work is required.. Your
solution to each exam problem
should
be legible and describe your ideas clearly. No details will have no
scores. All students take the final exam in UO specified final
exam time. Generally there is no make-up quiz or exam except for
serious illness with valid doctor's statement or other special excuse
with valid document.
Attendance: Attendance is mandatory. Your attendance
will
be checked randomly. You are responsible for all the announcements,
changes,
course information, and topics that I cover in class. If you miss a
substantial
number of lectures without discussing the matter with me and
without
a valid excuse, a score deduction from your homework and quizzes may be
given.
