Subject Material: We shall cover most of chapters 6, 8, and 9 of the text. A more complete list of the sections covered will be found on the course homework page.
Reading: It will be expected that you read the assigned material in advance of the class period indicated by the course calendar. The reading is an essential part of the course and you will be held responsible for material covered in the reading whether or not it is covered in the lectures. The amount of reading is not large in quantity; however, it is heavy in conceptual content.
Homework: Homework will be assigned on the course homework page and should be completed by the indicated due date. Your homework grade will be based on the best five (5) of seven (7) homework assignments.
Midterm Exams: There will be two midterm exams given during the lecture hour on Friday of the third and seventh weeks; see the course calendar for the dates of the midterm exams. There will be no makeup exams. You may bring one 8.5 by 11 inch handwritten sheet of notes with you to the each midterm exam.
Final Examination: The final examination will be held at the date and time stated in the course calendar. It is your responsibility to ensure that you do not have a schedule conflict involving the final examination; you should not enroll in this class if you cannot take the final examination at its scheduled time. You may bring one 8.5 by 11 inch handwritten sheet of notes with you to the final examination; no other notes (or books) or calculators will be allowed.
Regrades: Homework and midterm exams will be returned in the discussion sections. If you wish to have your homework or exam regraded, you must return it immediately to your TA. Regrade requests will not be considered once the homework or exam leaves the room. If you do not retrieve your homework or exam during discussion section, you must arrange to pick it up from your TA within one week after it was returned in order for any regrade request to be considered.
Grading: Your course grade will be based on the better of the following two (2) weighted averages. Note that the homework grade will be based on your best five (5) of seven (7) assignments.
