E-mail: I encourage students to make use of e-mail for quick correspondence with me regarding lecture material, homework problems, or whatever. I will also use e-mail to communicate with the class at large.
Homework: Assigned weekly and due the following week. Late homework accepted at 75% of full value up to 5:00 PM two days following due date. If you know it will be impossible to turn in an assignment on time you must discuss this with me in advance of the due date. Sources (e.g. textbooks or classmates) should be cited when used heavily in a homework solution. Please make sure you include your name and the homework and course numbers and staple the pages together.
Exam Schedule:
Midterm Examination: Friday, March 13, 2009. Handed out at end
of class, March 13th; collected at start of class March 23rd. Cannot consult
other people.
.
Final Examination: Friday, May 8, 2009, returned no later than
5:00pm, Thursday, May 14, 2009. Have 72 hours to do exam. Cannot consult other people.
Grading: Based on homework (200 pts.), two mid-terms (100 pts. each), and
final (200 pts.).
Final Exam score will be used to decide borderline cases.
An approximate guide is that 55-60% of the overall points plus a passing
score on the final exam are required to earn a grade of B- or better.
