Grading
Grades in the course will be determined from problem sets assigned after each set
of lectures given by a speaker (40%), as well as take-home, open-book midterm and final
exams (30% each). Due dates for each problem set will be noted when assigned. Late
problem sets or exams will not be accepted unless the delay is due to an emergency.
Students are encouraged to discuss aspects of the problem sets amongst
themselves. However, each student is expected to formulate their own answers to
problem set questions, and should not write their answers collectively with other students
in the class. For both take-home exams, students should not discuss the problems with
each other under any circumstances.
