|Additional Notes |

|Assignments |A set of problems will be assigned at somewhat irregular intervals but will always be due before class on each |

| |due date. Policy on late homework: late homework will not be accepted without a serious or compelling reason. |

|Exams |During this course, there will be a first worth 25.0 points and a second worth 25.0 points, homework and |

| |quizzes worth 10.0 points and a final examination worth 40.0 points. |

| |There is NO curve in this course. |

| |Please bring only pencils to the exams.  |

| |Tentative Exam Schedule: |

| |1. Two Majors (Class Tests): 2 x 25% = 50% |

| |2. Quizez and Homework 5X2 = 10 |

| |Final Exam: 40% |

| |TOTAL 100% |

|Cheating |Academic dishonesty of any form will not be tolerated. University policies on cheating and plagiarism (see |

| |Students' Guide) will be strictly enforced. |

|Attendance |Your attendance at all lectures is expected and essential to your success in this course. As a rule the |

| |student can't miss more than 10% of the lectures with reasonable excuses from the instructor, and another 10% |

| |with reasonable excuses accepted by the dean of science. If the student misses overall 20% of the lectures, |

| |then he or she can't enter the final exam and will fail the course with 35. |
