Course Policies

Homework: Homework assignments for this course will be due twice a week (once a week in weeks when there is a midterm exam) on the schedule set out on the Course Schedule and Announcements page. A random selection of problems will be graded and complete solutions will be posted on the course schedule page.

Midterm Exams: There will be three Midterm Exams, given in class. Exam dates will be posted on the course schedule well in advance. Detailed exam syllabi will be posted about one week before each exam date.

Final Exam: The Final Exam will be cumulative. See the course schedule for time and place. (There is no conflict or combined final for this class.)

Policy on missed midterm exams: Missed hour exams will be handled via make-up exams provided the student involved supplies appropriate documentation that justifies the absence. Medical conditions, religious time conflicts and university related sports competition are examples of reasons for a justified absence

Calculator policy: Calculators are not permitted on examinations

Academic Integrity (Cheating): Cheating on exams or indeed any aspect of the course will result in serious implications. University policy dictates that any charge of cheating that results in a guilty decision, however small, MUST be documented both with the student's college and also the Senate Committee on Academic Discipline. Cheating instances will follow you and may influence decisions made about you in the future.

Grading policy

Computation of course grade: The course grade will be the average of your homework, midterm exams, and final exam grades, weighted as follows: 15% Homework, 45% Hour Exams (15% per exam); 40% Final Exam.

Grade Scale:

A+ = 96.7 - 100 B+ = 86.7 - 89.9 C+ = 75 - 79.9 D+ = 61.7 - 64.9 F = 0 - 54.9
A = 93.4 - 96.6 B = 83.4 - 86.6 C = 70 - 74.9 D = 59 - 61.6  
A- = 90 - 93.3 B- = 80 - 83.3 C- = 65 - 69.9 D- = 55 - 58.3
