Grading:
There will be three in-class midterms, a comprehensive final exam, and weekly
homework. Midterms will count for 40% of the grade, the final exam will count for 35%
of the grade, and homework will count for 25% of the grade. Grades will be based on
the following scale:
A (93-100), A- (90-92), B+ (87-89), B (83-86), B- (80-82), C+ (77-79), C (73-76),
C- (70-72), D+ (67-69), D (63-66), D- (60-62), E (0-59).
Caution: All students, regardless of course performance, must take the final exam. If a
student does not take the final exam then the student will receive a failing grade for the
course, no exceptions!
Homework:
• There will be weekly homework assignments. Homework will be assigned on
Wednesdays and turned in the following Wednesday to allow students a full
week to work on the homework exercises.
• Homework is to be turned in no later than at the end of class on the specified due
date. If a student fails to turn in the homework assignment by the end of class
then the student will receive zero points for that assignment.
• Students are encouraged to collaborate with fellow classmates on the homework,
but individual work must be turned in. Students are discouraged to share exact
personal answers with unprepared students as I will give both students a score of
zero points for that assignment if both papers are identical.
• I would encourage students to rework past homework exercises multiple times
since exam questions will be similar (not identical) to the homework.
