Grading, and assigning of points, is based upon perceived effort. Advance notice is not given as to when homework will be collected. Since approximately fourteen problems will be collected, but only fifty points counts towards the final grade means that approximately four problems can be missed with no adverse effect to the final grade. The problems will be similar in nature to the homework or the problems on the exams. Individuals working together may turn in just one paper with all the names of the individuals on it.
Groups are to be limited to no more than five individuals.
Points are awarded based upon the correctness of the answer and not the effort put forth. All exams will be in class, individual effort. Students desiring to take the exam at another time must make appropriate arrangements with the instructor before the regularly scheduled exam and a mutually agreeable time determined. Missing an exam and failing to notify the instructor in advance will result in a score of zero for that exam. 202 courses are using a similar syllabus designed after that used by Dr. David Christensen.
