Grading
The course grade will be apportioned as follows:
Homework
|
30% |
Exam |
40% |
Final project
|
30% |
There will be a total of 7 homework assignments, but only your best
6 count toward the final grade, so you may miss one homework
assignment with no penalty.
All
homeworks must be submitted by the deadline and no later. Any
homework not handed in by the deadline will receive 0 points,
without any exceptions.
To do well in this course, you should follow the lectures
regularly, read the chapters in the book each week as indicated in
the homework assignment, start working on the homework and final
project early, and talk to me promptly if you have any problems.
The answers to the homework and exam questions should be written
in a way that is rigorous, clear and concise.

This syllabus is subject to change as necessary during the quarter. If a change occurs, it will be thoroughly addressed during class, posted under Announcements in D2L and sent via email.
Evaluations are a way for students to provide valuable feedback regarding their instructor and the course. Detailed feedback will enable the instructor to continuously tailor teaching methods and course
content to meet the learning goals of the course and the academic needs of the students. They are a requirement of the course and are key to continue to provide you with the highest quality of teaching. The
evaluations are anonymous; the instructor and administration do not track who entered what responses. A program is used to check if the student completed the evaluations, but the evaluation is completely
separate from the student’s identity. Since 100% participation is our goal, students are sent periodic reminders over three weeks. Students do not receive reminders once they complete the evaluation.
Students complete the evaluation online in CampusConnect.
