Grading Policy:
The final grade will be based on the final exam (25%), three midterm exams (45% total or 15% each), homeworks (10% total), and lab assignments (15% total). Students that have an A in the class after the first three midterms have an option of doing a final project instead of the final exam.
Homework:
Homework problems will be posted on blackboard and the solutions will also be posted on blackboard in the Assignments folder.
Exams:
There will be three midterm examinations (TBD) and a final exam (TBD). Exams are in class, closed-notes and closed-book, but you may bring a standard calculator and a single 8.5x11 sheet of formulae, definitions, etc.

Students who must miss a scheduled midterm or final examination for any reason (athletic, religious, personal, etc.) should if possible make arrangements with me well ahead of time to take a version of the test EARLY.

Midterms:
The following are the midterm dates
Sept. 20
Oct. 23
Nov. 20
Grading errors:
Once the grades are posted on blackboard, you will receive an email from either the TA or from me. If you have questions regarding the grade then please talk to the TA or me, whomever graded the assignment. This submission must happen within a week modulo hollidays. The policy regarding corrections is if you are right we'll give you double points, if you are wrong you get double points off.
Lectures:
Class lectures are posted on blackboard.
