Course Material:
Homework: Homework will be assigned, but not collected. However, many homework problems, with or without slight modifications, will appear in quizzes and tests (so will the examples that I work on in my lectures). Thus, it is absolutely imperative to work on each of the assigned problems.
Tentative schedule of tests: There will be ten quizzes, two tests during the semester and a comprehensive final exam.
Quizzes: There will be ten quizzes during the semester.
Tests: February 17, March 25.
Final Exam: May 6, 8:00-11:00AM .
Missed tests/quizzes:
There will be no makeup quizzes/tests/exams.
In computing your quiz average I will drop the lowest 4 grades.
If you miss a test/final exam without a valid excuse, a zero will be averaged into your grade.
If you are forced to miss a test/final exam, an excuse from a doctor or other appropriate authorities must be
presented.
If the excuse is accepted, your other course work will be adjusted so that you will not be penalized.
Grading: Class tests - 40%, final examination - 40%, quizzes - 20%.
