Homework Assignments: I will assign homework after finishing each subject area. The homework will be due at the beginning of the next class period. No homework more than a week old will be accepted. Late homework will be penalized 1 point per day.

Examinations: There will be two written exams and one final. The final exam will be comprehensive.

Final Exam: Tuesday, December 15 (12/15), 8:00-10:00 am

Grades: The two partial exams account for 50% of the total grade and the final exam accounts for 25% of total grade, respectively. The homework accounts for 25% of the total grade. Grades will be assigned according to the standard curve (A=90%, B=80%, C=70%, D=60%, F<60%).
