Grading Policy:
Your course grade is determined by the sum of following performance
scores: homeworks(total 20 scores), midterm(total 20 scores), final exam(total
60
scores).
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 3:00pm of each Friday or the date specified in the Tentative Syllabus. It is your responsibility to check the updated Tentative Syllabus each Thursday afternoon or the date before the specified due date in the Tentative Syllabus. Late handing in homework will not be accepted. One homework 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 give out your ideas. 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 on each page. Your homework will be returned and put in the homework return box by your grader. The attendance will be checked randomly. Poor attendance may alter this policy; see "Attendance" below.
Exam: There are a midterm and a final exam. For each exam , you can bring a 8.5" by 11" sheet with formulae or useful notes for you, but discussing and any cheating are not allowed during the exam, otherwise a penalty of score deduction from your exam may be given. Your solution to each exam problem should be legible and include your ideas. No details will have no scores. Each exam time is specified. There is no make-up exam.
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 (more than 5) without discussing the matter with me and without a valid excuse, I may refuse to accept homework from you, late or on time.
