EVENING CLASSES: Weekly evening classes must be treated as regularly scheduled classes. Evening classes will be taught by TAs. You must attend only the class for which you are registered no exceptions. To change the class you must go through a regular registration process. Each evening class will involve a Q&A session followed by a quiz. Two lowest quiz grades, including zeros for absentia, will be dropped.

HOMEWORK: Each weekly assignments consists of 5-10 problems from the book and additional practice problems. Additional problems will be posted on Canvas. Posted problems and problems shown in boldface are particularly important. Homework will not be graded.

CLASS PARTICIPATION: You are expected to attend every class. A pop-quiz will be given in every class.

MID-TERM EXAMS: Each exam will consist of two problems. Graded exams will be returned to you one week later at the evening class. Solutions will be posted one week later. Calculators are allowed. Each exam should be treated as a report.

It is your responsibility to present your solutions in an intelligent and clear manner. Poor presentations will be penalized.

FINAL EXAM: The final exam is comprehensive. No make-up exams will be given. You are welcome to look at your final exam by scheduling an appointment. The final exam will not be re-graded.

GRADING SCALE: A: a score above 90 B: a score between 80 and 90 C: a score between 60 and 80 D: a score between 50 and 60 F: a score below 50

GRADING COMPONENTS: Class participation 5% Evening quizzes 10% Mid-term exams 50% Final exam 35%

GRADING POLICIES: No curve will be applied. The letter grade is not negotiable.

REGRADING: 1. 2. 3. You are welcome to request regarding after comparing your solution with the posted one. Each request must proceed as follows: Hand me the exam in question on the second Friday following the exam. Attach a brief, limited to three sentences, description of the rationale for regarding. Collect your regarded exam from me on the following Monday after class. Requests that do not follow these steps will not be considered. Frivolous requests may result in significant grade losses.

CONDUCT: No talking. Violators may be asked to leave the class. The use of laptops and texting devices is restricted to the last two rows. I-pads are welcome, as long as they are used appropriately.

If late, enter the class through the back doors. Scholastic dishonesty will not be tolerated and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent.

E-MAIL MESSAGES: Messages must be written in English. This does include the use of capital letters. Messages must be addressed and signed. Each message should be less than 100 words. Please allow me for up to 24 hours to respond. Do not use e-mail for asking questions about details of homework problems. Messages not conforming with the aforementioned rules will be ignored.

STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES: Discuss appropriate arrangements as soon as possible. Making early arrangements for the entire semester is highly recommended.
