Grading Policy
Your course grade is determined by the sum of following performance scores: homeworks (total 30 scores), midterm (total 35 scores), final exam (total 35 scores).
Homework: Homework is due weekly before 3:00pm of the date specified in the 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 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 name and student number (last four digits of your SSN) on each page. Poor attendance may alter this policy; see "Attendance" below.
Exam: There are a midterm and a final exam. For each exam, you can bring your text book, 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 describe your ideas clearly. No details will have no scores.
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.
