Homework will be assigned for each section. It is due a few days after the material is covered in class. To receive credit, you must show all your work, make sure your reasoning is clear, provide justifications when necessary, etc. Just an answer will not receive credit. A small number of randomly selected problems will be graded. It is very important to do all homework diligently in order to learn the material. If you are having trouble with your homework, get help from your classmates, instructor, and/or tutors. However, your homework must be your own work. No copying is allowed (copying will be considered cheating).

Class attendance is required. In addition to new material, important course information will be given in class, and sometimes quizzes will be administered. Please do not be late. The class will start on time. Pay attention. Stay on task. Please put away any phones and other distracting gadgets. Take notes. No recording or taking pictures are allowed during class. Questions addressed to the instructor are welcome at any time during class. I will sometimes ask if there are any questions, but if needed, feel free to ask for a clarification at other times as well.

Quizzes will sometimes be given during class. Quizzes will not be announced in advance. They will be short and quick (5-10 minutes) and will test your knowledge and computational skills. You must be present in class (for the whole class period) in order to do the quiz. If you are late or leave early, your quiz grade may be lowered. No late quizzes are given unless you have a documented reason to miss class. However, two lowest scores are dropped, so if you miss just one or two of them, your zeros will be dropped. The quizzes are based on your homework. To do well on quizzes, do your homework diligently, check your answers, and ask questions whenever you miss something.

Recitations are an important part of this class. Make sure you attend the recitation you signed up for each week and actively participate. You will complete quizzes based on the activities done there. Your recitation score is 10% of your class grade.

Exams: There will be three 50 minuntes long tests and one 2 hours long final comprehensive exam. If for any reason you are unable to take a test at the scheduled time, please let your instructor know as soon as possible, and certainly before the test. In most cases, you will be expected to take the test before it is given in class. See schedule for exam dates.

Extra Help: It is essential not to fall behind, because each class may use the material studied previously. If you have trouble with some material, seek help in the following ways:

If you are having any difficulties, seek help immediately - don't wait until it is too late to recover from falling behind, or failing to understand a concept!
