Grading: Weekly quizzes 20%, homework 20%, midterm exams 20%, final exam 40%.
Homework and quizzes: Homework problems will be assigned weekly. These will be turned in during Thursday discussion sections. The lowest homework grade will be dropped from the final grade calculation. Quizzes will be given in discussion section on Thursdays once every non-exam week. Every quiz takes about 20 minutes. The quiz will cover material from that week’s homework assignment. The lowest quiz grade will be dropped from the final grade calculation. Your discussion section TA will provide more details about homework and quiz logistics. There will be two midterms and one final exam.
Extra Quiz: Participation is voluntary. Participation can only improve your performance. It gives you a chance to improve the score you earned in the quizzes. Upon participation, this set of problems counts as an additional quiz you completed. Should you participate, the quizzes with the two lowest scores will be dropped; this is one more than what would be dropped without participation. This means, should you do worse than your lowest quiz score so far, than the extra credit quiz will be the second quiz dropped. Should you do well, than you have the opportunity to exchange your lowest quiz score. This is a take home quiz. It is due on Thursday, June 3, at the discussion session. You can use whatever material (book, internet, etc.) you wish. You have to however do the problems ON YOUR OWN. Communication with other human beings about these problems is not permitted.
