Emphasis here is on tentative , especially given that this is the first time I will be teaching this course. Exam grades will be used as a base for your final grade. Your final grade will then be adjusted depending on how well you have done in meeting the remaining three requirements. The third exam will be on material from the book by Bartik, the third item on the Required Reading list. Exams are not cumulative.
Homework is mandatory.
If you don t do the homework, don t bother showing up for the tests or taking the course. All homework is due exactly one week after being assigned, unless stated otherwise. Homework will usually be assigned whenever we start a new chapter. You are responsible for knowing what the homework's are and when they are due. You can always e-mail me if you are uncertain.
