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 Wednesday'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 or Thursday depending on teaching
speed. 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 to a student depending on how the
student initiatively, vigorously and correctly
answers the instructor’s questions or example problems.
Exam: There are two midterms and one final exam. UO ID is needed for each exam. However, cell phone,
advanced calculator and lecture notes are not allowed on each exam. During the exam students are prohibited
from looking at other students’ exam, talking to other students 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 Thursday or the
date specified in the Tentative Syllabus. It is your responsibility to check the updated Tentative Syllabus
each Wednesday 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
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.
