Exam questions will not be based on the use of this resource. We will not have weekly recitals, unless you, the students request something along this line. I will offer a help session sometime in the evening hours approximately one week prior to each exam. We will be very informal during the help sessions and you can ask everything that comes to mind or work a zillion problems. We will agree on dates by general concensus.
Attendance is completely voluntary.
Examinations, Grading Your final grade will be based on the best two out of three exams, two written home assignments and laboratory performance. I will be flexible if you can present a strong and verifiable argument. You must see me before or immediately after a missed exam. Each late assignment carries a penalty of 1 point for each day, down to a minimum of 5 points. Grades assigned will be straight letter grades.
