Grading:

(1) Homework assignments, 20% of final grade.

Final grade for the course is based on a "curve", though it is possible that the average final grade for the whole class will be an B+ just as it is possible that it will be a C.

Schedule of Homework Assignments:

You will be given about 2 weeks to do most assignments, Assignments turned in late may be penalized. You could loose 10% per day for late work.

Collaboration in Homework Assigments:

Accepted, provided it is acknowledged. If you have a joint solution for a homework problem, mention the name of your partner at the beginning of the solution you hand in.

Resist Temptation ! Solutions should not be searched for on the Internet and solutions should not be copied from the Internet, or from any textbook,.... On the other hand doing extra reading from the Internet, or any other source, is encouraged.

Problems should be written up individually, even if the solution was a collaboration.

Work Expected from Average Student:

4 hours of lecture/section per week + maybe 8 hours of studying on your own per week (reviewing lecture notes, homework problems, additional material) -- for a total of 12 hours per week.
