There will be three tests and a final exam. Tentative dates of tests (subject to change):
More precise information on the dates of the tests will be provided later. All tests will be held during regular class time in 328 Armory.
Final exam: Thursday, December 17, 1.30 - 4.30 pm, in 328 Armory.
Grading: The grade for the course will be based on the total points from the best two tests (the maximum score will be 100 in each test), the final exam (maximum score 100), and quizzes (points normalized so that the maximum score will be 100). Hence the maximum score will be 400 for the total points. Typically, no pluses or minuses will be used with the letter grades for the course.
Quizzes. After the first week, there will be a quiz at the beginning of each class (apart from a few exceptions). In each quiz, there will typically be up to three questions, each graded either 5 or 0 points depending on whether your answer is completely correct or not. A certain number (at least three) of lowest quiz scores will be dropped. (The exact number of quizzes to be dropped depends on how many quizzes we end up having during the semester and will be announced later.) Dropping one test and a number of quizzes is intended to provide leeway for those times when a student is ill, or needs to go to a job interview, or has a family emergency, or just misses class or is late for the class for some other reason. If you miss a test or a quiz, you will get zero points for it. As this system allows you to miss one test and at least three quizzes without you giving any reason for it, no make-up tests or quizzes will be given. Exceptions will be considered only in the case of a prolonged illness indicated by a doctor's note. Of course, you are encouraged to take all tests and quizzes and to do your best.
No books, notes or calculators will be allowed in the tests, the quizzes, and the final exam. Bring your university ID to the tests and the final exam.
Homework problems will be suggested at the end of each lecture. A list of all suggested homework problems can be found by clicking on the link to "Suggested problems" below.
