HW, HWeb and PRS scores each count for a third of an exam. The lowest score from E1-5, and the combined HW+HWeb+PRS score will be dropped; the final can be exempted by doing very well on mid-terms. If you are required to take the final it cannot dropped. The course will be graded on the basis of 700 points: score (out of 700) = (HW+HWeb+PRS) + E1 + E2 + E3 + E4 + E5 + Final – (lowest E score or (HW+HWeb+PRS)) -- 620 points will guarantee an "A" -- 520guarantees a "B" -- 450 guarantees a "C" -- 380 guarantees a "D" -- See below for S/U and V requirements.

LECTURE ATTENDANCE You are strongly encouraged to attend lectures. STUDENT ID NUMBERS All work submitted for grading must include your name and class roll number (not SSN), which will be available on the class homepage at the end of the first week of classes. REGRADES If you want any work regraded you must make a request and return the assignment within one week to the instructor. Work will not be regraded after this deadline. CLASS NOTES Notes for each topic should be downloaded from the web (as PDF files) and printed prior to the first lecture dealing with the material. Topics correspond fairly closely to the chapters, with a little reorganization. These notes are not designed to be comprehensive. In fact, they are specifically designed to be incomplete. They will serve as the basis for lecture notes, not as a replacement for attending lectures. The notes should minimize the use of lecture time for information transfer, and allow time to work problems in class. HOMEWORK HWeb Assignments (33.33 points) The textbook is exceptionally well-written and should be the primary source of information in the course. It is important to do the assigned reading before coming to lecture. This will provide you with some familiarity with the subject and allows us to spend more time in class illustrating concepts and solving problems. In order to encourage reading of the textbook, there is a multiple choice homework, "HWeb", based on the reading assignments before each class. Each assignment consists 3 multiple choice questions which require you to read ahead in the textbook. The questions must be answered using t-square by 10 a.m. prior to each lecture. Late answers will not be accepted. There will be 105 questions throughout the semester worth 0.33 point each. You can collect up to 33.33 points. Answers will be provided during the next lecture. Answers and scores will not be posted; you should keep a running tally of your points.Use the Web syllabus to gain access to WebCT to answer the HWeb assignments (click on the appropriate HWeb link).
