Each homework set will be graded on a scale of 0-10. The quizzes will be held the last 20 minutes of each Thursday's class. Although the material in this course is cumulative in nature, each exam will emphasize the material covered since the previous exam. The progress of each student will be indicated after each exam for feedback. The Final Exam will be cumulative.
Homework is assigned each class period, and is due at the beginning of the next class period.
Homework grades will be based on how accurate your solutions are, as well as how the solution is communicated. A solution is well-communicated if the problem is clearly stated, the solution steps are explained, and the soundness of the solution is verified. An example is provided. If you set up the problem well, explain the steps toward the solution, and defend it, you will receive at least half of the credit - even if the answer is wrong. It is important that you write in a way that others will understand your work.
