Homework, Tests, Exam, and Grades
This course will be graded on the plus/minus system.
There will be three tests
during the semester, with the test average counting 54% of the
course grade. Missed tests can be made up for valid reasons,
such as illness, as described
in University regulations.
The final exam
is scheduled for 1 PM on Monday, December 17, and will count 27%
of the grade.
The Homework
Grade (19%) will be based on Homework Tests (10%)
and on
Homework Preparation and class Participation (9%). For
more information, click on
Grading, below.
Homework
will be assigned and collected each class day. I will look it over and
make suggestions as to technique and general approach in order to keep you posted
on how you are doing. Late HW will be accepted, but you might get no
feedback. Solutions to many HW problems will be placed on reserve in
the D.H. Hill Reserve Room. To gain maximum benefit, work on these problems
before you look at the solutions, and pay close attention to the approach used in
these solutions.
