Homework

There will be written homework assignments.  These are to be handed to the instructor at the beginning of the class.

Volunteers will be seeked to solve the homework assignement. This will always give extra-credit.

Attendance

Attendance to classes is required.

Exams

There will be two tests and a final exam.

Exams will not be repeated. Unless an extreme situation occur, failure to present a test will result in 0 points. If an extreme situation does occur causing a person not to present an exam, the average of the score in the other two exams will be assigned as score for the missing exam.

Exams will be with open book but no other notes are allowed. The best preparation for the exam (aside from actively following the material) is to try to do each of the exercises/problems in the book for which an answer is provided in the book.

Cheating

You're responsible for doing your own work on all assignments and exams. Copying other people's work is cheating, and if I catch you doing it I'll report it to the honors council.
