Exams
The course will have three mid-term exams and a final exam. The mid-term
exams will be given on
| Exam #1: |
Wednesday 29 September |
| Exam #2: |
Wednesday 27 October |
| Exam #3: |
Monday 22 November |
Tests will be closed book and calculators will not be allowed. Makeups will
not be given.
In case of documented illness or family emergency or documented
University sponsored trips, you will be assigned a grade for the missing
test based on an appropriate section of the final exam (that is, the
appropriate questions on the final exam will count both toward the final
exam score and as a replacement score for the missing test).
The final exam has not yet been scheduled. It may take place as late as
December 21. If you must make travel plans before the
exam schedule is released, you should not schedule your departure from
campus before 8:30pm
on December 21. No student will be allowed to take the final exam
early.
Homework
Homework will normally be assigned weekly, and turned in on Fridays.
Students in Recitation sections A--D may turn in their homework at the
begining or end of Friday's lecture (Lecture 1 or 2), or slide it
under Dr. Handron's office door before 2:20.
Homework turned in after 2:20 will
be regarded as late.
Students in Recitation section E should contact Dr. Frieze
regarding homework policies.
Late homework assignments will be accepted, up until the recitation following
the original due date. (In most cases this will be six days.)
The first late homework will be given full credit. Thereafter, the late
assignments will be penalized. The second will be given half credit, the third
1/3 credit, and so on. The tenth late homework and any subsequent
late homeworks will be given no credit.
Grade Computation
The final grade for the course will be determined by your performance
on the homework and quizzes, the three midterm exams, and the final exam according
to the following algorithm:
Homework 15%
Midterms 60%
Final exam 25%
Letter Grades
The general scheme for assigning letter grades will be:
A: > 85, B: 75-84, C: 65-74, D: 50-64, R: < 49
Adjustments (up or down) to this default scheme will be made for assignments
throughout the semester.
