Other Policies
Late problem sets
Problem sets must be submitted by the date and time listed on the assignment. There will be a 10% deduction for homework that is up to 24 hours late. We will not accept any homework that is more than 24 hours late. Plan your time carefully, and don’t wait until the last minute so that you will have ample time to ask questions and obtain assistance from the course staff.
Pre-lecture preparation
To help you prepare for lecture, you will typically be required to complete an assigned reading and/or watch one or two short videos. You may also be required to complete an online quiz (pre or post) lecture to demonstrate your understanding of the material. Your work on these tasks will not typically be graded for correctness, but we reserve the right to do so as your work should demonstrate that you have adequately prepared for lecture and understand the material. These tasks must be submitted by the specified date and time. Late work will not be accepted.
Lecture notes will be posted by the end of the day of the lecture. You are strongly encouraged to review the lectures in advance of the next lecture.
Participation
The participation portion of your grade will be based on your completion of online questions connected to the lectures, and on your consistent participation in the lab sessions on Zoom.
Computing the final grade
- Weekly problem sets (25%)
- Exams: midterm exams (30%) and a final exam (35%)
- Participation: (10%)
To pass the course, you must earn a passing grade for each of these components.
The final exam will replace your lowest problem-set grade if doing so helps your final grade. The final exam will also replace your lowest midterm-exam grade if doing so helps your final grade.
The final grades are not curved. The performance of the class as a whole is taken into account when assigning letter grades, but this can only improve your grade, not harm it.
Miscellaneous
-
Extensions and makeup exams will only be given in documented cases of serious illness or other emergencies.
-
You cannot redo or complete extra work to improve your grade.
-
Incompletes will not be given except in extraordinary circumstances.
