| Participation: | Please contribute to the classroom environment by asking questions and participating in discussions. Your interaction will be considered when assigning borderline grades, as will improving performance throughout the course of the semester. |
|
| Preparation: | I will be asking students to answer questions during class. Therefore, I highly recommend that you complete the suggested reading before coming to class.
|
|
| Grading: | 30% Problem Sets, 40% Exams, 30% Final |
|
| Problem Sets: | There will be a homework set roughly every other week, each involving both written work and computational exercises in MATLAB. You are encouraged to discuss these assignments, but the final write-up (including computer code) must be entirely your own work. As a rule of thumb, you should spend half an hour working each problem independently before collaborating with a classmate.
|
| Exams: | Two exams and one final will be given during the semester. You may not use outside resources: calculators, other students, other books, etc. Each exam will constitute 20% of your total grade (40% total) and the final will constitute 30% of your total grade.
|
| Late policy: | You may submit two problem sets one class period late with no penalty. Subsequent late assignments will be penalized 25%. No work will be accepted more than one class period late without prior arrangement or a written excuse. Neither exam or final may be made up without prior arrangement or a written excuse. |
