Course Contract
1) Students are expected to attend all lectures. I will not take attendance, however, materials covered in lecture will be incorporated into exams. It is the responsibility of the student to acquire notes on days missed.
2) A course grade will depend on lecture exams (60% of grade), exercises (30% of grade), and literature summary/discussion (10% of grade). Lecture exams (midterm and final exams worth 100 points each) will consist of a mixture of multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, short answer, and essay questions. The final exam is comprehensive. Work turned in late will receive reductions in points as follows:
1-day late = 20% of points lost; 2-days late = 50% of points lost; 3-days late = no credit.
3) Everybody starts with an "A".
Percentage breakdown for grading:
>93 A; 90-92 A-; 87-89 B+; 83-86 B; 80-82 B-; 77-79 C+; 73-76 C; 70-72 C-; 67-69 D+; 63-66 D; 60-62 D-; ................
