Grading Policy: Your course grade is the sum of following performance scores: The homework will count as 15% of the course
grade; the in-class quizzes will count as 25%; the midterm will count as 30% and the final exam will count as 30%.
Quizzes: Usually Friday's classes will take the form of a problem session, followed (most weeks) by a short quiz. Sometimes
a quiz may be arranged on Tuesday. There will be five or six quizzes. Your lowest quiz score will be dropped. Remaining quiz
scores will be averaged and contributed to the course grade. There is no make-up quiz. In order to encourage students to answer
questions in class, 1-3 % of the following quiz score will be given according to a student how initiatively, vigorously and correctly
answer
the instructor’s questions or example problems.
Exam: There are two midterms and one final exam. UO ID is needed for each exam. However, calculators and lecture
notes are not allowed on each exam. Students are prohibited from looking at other students’ exam and giving or receiving
unauthorized help on exam without permission from the instructor. Otherwise, an appropriate academic sanction may be given.
Academic misconduct is defined in The University Student Conduct Code (conduct.uoregon.edu). For each exam (including
quizzes), you can bring a 3x5 inch index card with formulae or useful notes for you. Your solution to each exam problem should be
legible and describe your ideas clearly. No details will have no scores. Midterm and final exam dates and times are specified and
can't be changed. There are no make-up exams.
Homework: Homework questions and due dates are posted in the following Tentative Syllabus of this web page which will be
updated very often. Homework is due weekly before 3:00pm of each Friday or the date specified in the Tentative Syllabus. It is
your responsibility to check the updated Tentative Syllabus each Thursday afternoon or the date before the specified due date in the
Tentative Syllabus. Late handing in homework will not be accepted. One lowest homework score will be dropped and the
remaining homework scores will be averaged and contributed to the course grade. You can discuss with other students while
working on your homework problems, but copying other students' answers is not allowed, otherwise a penalty of score deduction
may be given. Your solution to each homework problem should be legible and should describe your ideas clearly. No details will
have no scores. Please use 8.5" by 11" sheets to do your homework and don't forget to write down your first name, middle name
and last name (In order to protect your rights
to confidentiality of your papers, don't write down your
homework paper.) on each page. Your homework will be returned in the class. Poor attendance may alter this policy; see
"Attendance" below.
Attendance: Attendance is mandatory. You are responsible for all the announcements, changes, course information, and topics
that I cover in class. If you miss a substantial number of lectures without discussing the matter with me and without a valid
excuse, a penalty of score deduction of homework and quizzes may be given according to number of lectures missed.
Course Outcomes: A successful student of this course should be able to model and solve a wide class of problems that can be
answered by calculating an appropriate integral or by solving simple ordinary differential equations.
