Letter grades: 90-100 = A; 80-89 = B; 70-79 = C; 60-69 = D; <60 = F;
Grade thresholds may be lowered at the discretion of the instructor.
HOMEWORK
Homework will be assigned on a weekly basis. Completed assignments should be turnedin the beginning of class on the due date. Late homework will be accepted up to one week after the due date.
Late assignments will receive a maximum grade of 50%. Some homework will be discussed in class.
Homework solutions will be posted on the class web shortly after assignment collection.
Students should be prepared for unannounced homework quizzes.
EXAMS
Exams will emphasize class material and homework exercises. Exams will not be a regurgitation of class material.Rather, students are expected to apply concepts, techniques, and methods to new situations.
Students must take exams at scheduled time.
If you miss a test without either a certified medical excuse or prior instructor approval,
you may take a makeup test at a designated time near the end of the semester.
Only one makeup test will be given. It will be fair but challenging.
