There will be THREE assignments through the term as scheduled in the Tentative Class Schedule. I will collect and mark the assigned problems through SAKAI.

If you miss the midterm for a valid reason, such as a doctor’s noted illness, the weight of the missed midterm will be allocated to the final exam.

Make up midterm exams may be arranged under extreme circumstances.

The final exam is comprehensive. It includes material from the entire course, with more emphasis on chapters not covered by the midterm exam. If you miss the final exam due to illness, please contact me immediately and arrange for a valid medical certificate to be delivered to me within seven days. Failing to do so will result in a mark of zero for the final exam. Make up final exam will be arranged within seven days after such notification is received.
