Homework:

• 8 - 10 problems will be assigned each week.
• Homework will be collected in class on the due date.
• Each Problem Set will be worth 30 points
• 8 points each for three problems that will be fully graded.
  These problems will be chosen at random but will be the same for all students. Partial credit will be given.
• 6 points for evidence that the rest of the problems have been seriously attempted.
• Clearly show your work for all problems. You should show that you know how to do the problem - not simply write down the correct answer.
• The lowest two of your problem set scores will be dropped when calculating your final homework grade.

Exams:

• There will be two 75 minute Midterms,
• And a three hour Final.
• You will be allowed one 8 1/2 x 11 note sheet during the exams.
• The note sheet must be in your handwriting and must be an original copy (no Xeroxes).
• You may use one side of the paper for the midterms and both sides for the final.
• The note sheet will be handed in with the exam.
• No other papers or books may be used.

Regrades:

• Mistakes in grading homeworks and midterms have been known to happen (shocking but true!). So check all of your returned problem sets and exams carefully.
• You have two weeks from the time that a problem set or midterm is returned to request a regrade of a problem that you think was marked incorrectly or to report a score that was mis-recorded. Check the Grades & Results page for a list of your scores.
• To request a regrade send an email to the grader who marked the problem in question and cc Hal Evans.

Absences:

• No late homeworks will be accepted without a note from your Dean.
• If you miss an exam you may take a makeup only if you have a valid excuse from the Dean.
• Only one makeup will be scheduled for each exam. If you are also unable to attend a makeup midterm and have been excused by the Dean, that midterm will not be counted in your final grade.
• The Final Exam is required to pass the course.
