Assessment (approx.)
| Midterm I (Fri. Oct. 16) | 20 or 25% (to your advantage) |
| Midterm II (Wed. Nov 11) | 25 or 20% (respectively) |

Midterms and Final Make-up tests are forbidden under departmental policy. Taking a midterm early is negotiable but not guaranteed for foreseen excused absences, but university policy forbids taking a final exam early. Unforeseen excused absences for midterms may be covered by the corresponding portion of the final exam. {\bf If your grade is on the borderline, the final exam grade will, with limited exceptions, be used to break the tie}.
Homework Homework may be submitted in class. No late homework will be graded. (Partial credit may be given for homework submitted prior to the next class period.) Homework should be neat, and folded longitudinally with your name visible on the outside.
Quizzes Short quizzes used to reinforce lecture concepts and/or check preparedness to move on to new topics
Attendance University regulations require attendance and allow penalties for absences at the discretion of the instructor. Students with more than 3 unexcused absences are liable to have their final grades revised downward. (cf. Undergraduate Bulletin)
Academic Integrity It is assumed that students are familiar with the university's policy concerning academic integrity and possible sanctions for the violation thereof. See the Undergraduate Bulletin. Students in the Engineering School should also consult the Bulletin for the Engineering School Honor Code.
