Honor Code

You are encouraged to collaborate with other students on homework and studying for the examinations. The normal honor code applies to all examinations.  Collaboration does not mean copying other students software and submitting it as your own.

Grading

  • 30%:  Midterm Exam   
  • 30%:  Final Exam    
  • 20%:  Homework
  • 20%:  Class participation     

Homework

Homeworks are due at the beginning of class on the specified due date. Late homeworks will be given 1/2 credit or less.

Examinations

Makeup exams are rarely given. 

Requests for a delayed Final Exam due to multiple tests (>2) in one day will ONLY be considered if proper forms are completed and in my hands prior to the mid-semester break.

Students who are more than 15 minutes late for an exam may not be admitted and will be assigned a grade of zero for the exam.

There will be a midterm and a final exam, both of which will be closed book except for one 8.5x11 sheet (both sides) and simple electronic calculator functions.  

Some sample questions for first exam (test is much longer).
