I will collect homework assignments on a weekly basis (every Monday in class). Late homework will not be accepted, however the two lowest scores will be dropped.
There is a possibility of short (~15 min.) unannounced quizzes which will cover the homework related to the most recent 2-3 lectures.
The class is accompanied by a Maple lab for which you will have approximately 10 assignments.
Hour exams are tentatively scheduled as listed above.
The final will be comprehensive, with approximately 75% of the problems taken from the material covered in the hour exams.
Make-ups for tests will be given only when authorized in advance. Only 90% of the make-up score will count.
