There will be three 80-minute semester exams plus a 2-hour comprehensive final exam which will count as two semester exams.
| Date | Max. Points |
| Thursday, February 15 | 100 |
| Tuesday, March 13 | 100 |
| Tuesday, April 10 | 100 |
| Tuesday, May 8 (10:30 am - 12:30 pm) (Final Exam) | 200 |
Class attendance is optional but highly recommended - if you miss classes you may not do well in the exams. If you miss an exam you score zero for that exam.
Your grade will be based strictly on your examination performance. There will be no make-up exams. I will however drop your lowest 100 points (i.e. the lowest exam if it is before May or half the exam if it is the final) when I calculate your semester average, based on your best 400 points.
If your semester average is at least 90% your final grade will be A.
If your semester average is 80-89% your final grade will be B.
If your semester average is 70-79% your final grade will be C.
If your semester average is 60-69% your final grade will be D.
If your semester average is below 60% your final grade will be F.
I reserve the right to give a higher grade than allowed by the above scheme.
Homework will be assigned as we proceed, for discussion in class. It will not be collected nor graded, but is valid test material. Working the problems is therefore strongly encouraged. It is important that you keep up with the homework. Leaving it until the day or two before an exam is not a strategy for success. Expect to spend at least several hours on homework each week.
There will be no classes over Spring Break, March 19-25, 2007.
Tuesday, March 27, 2007 is the last day to drop this course.
