| Homework: |
Homework assignments will be made every class period with few
exceptions. Except for occasional assignments, all homework
assignments will be done through
Webassign. Homework will be due before the beginning of the
following class period. Late homework will recieve a reduced
grade.
|
| Quizzes: |
Quizzes will be given in each Recitation section
(every other week) and occasionally during Lecture. The purpose
of the quizzes are to assess the class' understanding of the topic
and to
prepare you for the types of problems which will be on the
examinations. The quizzes may be on any previously covered material.
|
| Laboratory: |
In order for students to pass the course they must pass the
Laboratory part of the course. This consists of handing in all 6
Laboratory Reports and achieving a grade of 50% on all reports and
pre-laboartory quizzes. The Laboratory is an integral portion of the
course. Some material will be covered only in the laboratory and
may appear on Examinations. Please take this seriously.
|
| Examinations: |
There will be three examinations: two midterms and one final
examination. These will be closed-book, closed-notes,
no-calculator examinations unless otherwise stated.
|
| Grading: |
The percentage weighting for each component are shown below.
The final letter grades will be awarded on a scale as shown below.
This scale may vary up or down slightly, depending on the difficulty
of the examinations and quizzes.
