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 also
count as 15%; The midterm will count as 20% and the final exam will count as
50%.
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. 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 2:00pm of each Friday or the time and the date specified in this 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 class. 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. Your solution to each exam problem should be legible and you should describe your ideas clearly. No details will have no scores. The times of the midterm and final exams are specified and can't be changed. 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, a penalty of score deduction of homeworks and quizzes may be given according to number of lectures missed.
