        Grading Policy
	



 



 
 
                  



				  	
    
                      
  1. Homeworks will be assigned and collected 
                      
  2. No late assignments will be accepted 
                      
  3. Approx. 2 or 3 tests + Final exam will be given 
                      
  4. Course grade will be based upon:
    
					  			 2 or 3 tests 60% + final exam 40% 
                      
  5. Numerical accuracy of calculations is critical for 
                      grading tests/exam 
                      
  6. No make-up quizes,tests or final exam will be given, 
                      unless medical certificate of illness is shown (Make-up 
                      Test will be MORE DIFFICULT than the regular test !!) 
                    

	


















	
	
	Attendance Policy
	




                      




	
	Attendance is not required but is strongly 
	recommended since absences can have a negative
	effect on the student's learning and 
	performance. Also, a student must be 
	present for all quizzes, tests, and 
	examinations.
	
	














	
	
	Honor Code
	





	

        
        All homework, quizzes, and exams that are turned in 
        for credit should contain either the honor code pledge 
        written out completely, or the words "Honor Pledge" 
        witten next to your signature. Collaboration with others 
        is permissible on homework assignments only.

NOTES:

                  

                    

                    
    
                      
  1. For Summer session: 6 weeks = 15 "regular" weeks
					  
  2. hence 1 week = 2.5 "regular" weeks
