Grading Policy

Your course grade is the sum of  following performance scores: The homeworks will count as 15% of the course grade; The in-class quizzes  will  count as 10%; The midterm will count as 15%;  and the final exam will count as 60%.

Quizzes:   During the term,  there are several  in-class quizzes. The day of a quiz is not completely fixed. The duration of a quiz ranges from 20 to 50 minutes. The quiz scores will be averaged and contributed to the course grade. There is no make-up quiz.

Homework:  Homework questions and due date 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 ID number on homework paper.) on each page. Your homework will be returned in the return boxes which are located on the same floor of classroom 205 DEA.  Poor attendance may alter this policy; see "Attendance" below.

Exam:  There are a midterm and a final exam. For each exam (including quizzes), you can bring  a 8.5" by 11" sheet with formulae or useful notes for you,  but discussing and any cheating  are not allowed during the exam, otherwise a penalty of   score deduction from your  exam may be given. Your solution to each exam problem should be legible and describe your ideas clearly. No details will have no scores. All students take the final exam at the UO specified time. There is no make-up exams.

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, I may refuse to accept homework from you, late or on time.
