| Homework: |
Homework is due every week on Friday. The homework will consist
of problems from the book as well as "Additional Problems", both of
which will be available on the course website. Homework will be graded
primarily based on the clarity of the solution, and strict correctness
will be secondary. No late homework will be accepted. Your lowest
homework score will be dropped. |
| Quizzes: |
There will be a quiz covering the material from the previous week
every Monday. In addition, there will be a pop-quiz whenever more than
1/3rd of the class is absent. Your lowest quiz score will be dropped.
|
| Exams: |
There will be an exam on Tuesday, June 17th. This exam will
consist of an in-class portion as well as a take-home portion, which
will be due on the following Friday. The final exam is on Friday, July
4th. You are responsible for all material in the covered sections in the
book, not just material that was explicitly covered in class. Like the
homework, exams will be graded primarily based on the clarity of the
solution, and strict correctness will be secondary. |
| Course Grading: |
Grades will be determined according to the following breakdown:
| Homework |
45% |
| Quizzes |
15% |
| Exams |
40% |
|
| Calculators: |
A calculator may be used on all homework assignments and exams,
but aside from arithmetic, the solutions should not rely on the
calculator. That is, a calculator may be used to perform arithmetic and
to check answers, but should not be used as the justification for a
particular solution. |
| Honor Code: |
All work submitted for credit must be the student's own and is
subject to the provisions of the Vanderbilt Honor Code. Details can be
found at http://studentorgs.vanderbilt.edu/HonorCouncil/. |
| Accomodation Procedure: |
A student who needs course accommodations due to a disability,
special arrangements in case the building must be evacuated, or has
emergency medical information that needs to be shared with the
instructor, should contact the instructor as soon as possible. Equal
Opportunity, Affirmative Action, and Disability Services (see
http://www.vanderbilt.edu/ead) at Vanderbilt provides specific
accommodations for students with physical or learning disabilities. Upon
receiving appropriate documentation from the student, the Opportunity
Development Center will make arrangements with the instructor for the
accommodations. |
