Grading Policy

Your course grade is a weighted average of the following three performance scores: homework (15%), quizzes (35%) and final exam (50%).

Quiz and Exam

Three quizzes will be held in class. The quiz is open book and open notes. The final is scheduled on Wednesday, June 11. The final is close book and close notes, but you may bring two "formula sheet," i.e., two 8.5 by 11 sheets of paper with whatever formulas and notes you find useful.

Homework

Homework is due WEEKLY in class on Wednesdays. Late homework will not be accepted. Your lowest homework score will be dropped.

Attendance:

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, I may refuse to accept homework from you, late or on time, unless you have attended class.
  • If you cannot make my office hours, please feel free to stop by my office anytime.
