| Homework: | Homework problems will be assigned in class (and listed at the bottom of this page) and will be due at my office by 5:00 PM on the next day that the class meets. No credit will be given for homework problems turned in late. Please show all of your work. Include the formula used and the numbers used, or give your reasoning when appropriate. Partial credit will be given if this information is missing, even if you have the correct answer. Place a box around your numerical answers and include appropriate units. If the units are missing, when appropriate, the answer is not correct. Please write only on one side of the paper. Problems written on the back will not be graded. Please fold homework papers in half (to make an 8.5 x 5.5 in. rectangle) and write your name and box number (neatly, please!) on one side. |
| Exams: | There will be four examinations (December 10, December 21, January 24 and February 12). The highest three scores will be used to determine the exam grade. |
| Grades: | The final grade will be determined as follows: | |
| Homework – 20% | ||
| Exams – 45% | ||
| Laboratory – 15% | ||
| Final Exam – 20% | ||
| You must pass the laboratory in order to pass the course! | ||
