Each test is worth 15 percentage points. The final is worth 20 percentage points. For your planning, the scheduled due dates will be September 7, September 21, October 12, October 26, November 16, and December 5. Problem sets will be a mixture of calculations and theoretical problems. Problem sets will be assigned formally at least one week before scheduled due date.
Due dates are subject to change at the discretion of the instructor.
Five percent of your grade is based on your participation in class discussion. Although the instructor has no explicit attendance policy, your lack of attendance will be interpreted as lack of participation. If you're uncertain as to what may constitute academic dishonesty in this class be sure to ask the instructor. This scale may be altered at the discretion of the instructor. This is a tentative schedule.
