Homeworks & Quizzes:
Homework
will be assigned
here every
week on
Tuesday and are due the following Tuesday. Homeworks will be collected
at the beginning of class each
Tuesday. Late homeworks will not be accepted.
Students should be prepared for an occasional short quiz on
Friday in lab. There will be no make-up quizzes.
The homework counts 10%.
Late Homeworks/Missed
Exams:
No
late homeworks will be accepted.
Two homework grades are dropped to give leeway for unexpected
occurences. A missed exam cannot be made up unless there is
either prior (at least a week prior) approval or sufficient
acceptable documentation for the absence.
Working together:
You are strongly encouraged to work on the homeworks and study
exams with others. Every assignment however is to be
the
product of your own work.
For example, a small group of
classmates may together work out a difficult problem. When it
comes time to write up the solution, each student should write up
their solution in his/her own hand finalizing the organization and presentation of the problem's solution independantly.
Exams must be done independantly.
Calculators and other
devices:
Other than one's own self, a writing implement (with optional erasing
capabilities) and a time piece are the only permitted tools for use on
an exam. Documented special needs may take certain
exceptions.
Academic Honesty:
Each student will uphold the University of Miami
Honor
Code. As a succinct reminder, each student will
write out and sign the pledge on each exam:
-
UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI HONOR PLEDGE
-
I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid on this piece of work, and I understand
and will uphold the ideals of academic honesty as stated in the Honor Code.
Grades:
- 10% - Homework
- 20% - Exam I
- 20% - Exam II
