| |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. |

|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. |
