Grading Policy

Your course grade is the sum of  following performance scores: The homeworks will count as 15% of the course grade; The in-class quizzes  will also count as 15%; The midterms will count as 20%;  and the final exam will count as 50%.

Quizzes:  Usually  Tuesday's classes we have a short quiz or discuss some examples. Sometimes a quiz may not be arranged on Tuesday.  There will be five or six open-book quizzes.  Your lowest quiz score will be dropped.  Remaining quiz scores will be averaged and contributed to the course grade. There is no make-up quiz.

Homework:  Homework questions  are posted in the following Tentative Syllabus of this web page which will be updated very often. Homework is due weekly at the Firday's lecture. No homework is accepted late.  It is your responsibility to check the updated Tentative Syllabus each day before you start to do your homework.  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 should 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,  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 the return boxes by your paper marker. Please find your return box and pick up your homeworks promptly.  Poor attendance may alter this policy; see "Attendance" below.

Exam:  There are two midterms and one final exam. For each exam, you can bring  a 8.5" by 11" sheet with formulae or useful notes for you. Your solution to each exam problem should be legible and describe your ideas clearly. No details will have no scores. The times of the midterm and final exams are specified and can't be changed. There is no make-up exams.

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 penalty of  score deduction of homeworks and quizzes  may be given according to number of lectures missed.
