Homework/Lab Assignments: All
assignments must be completed and handed in on time at the beginning of class. Work
must be complete. I will not accept a partially completed assignment.
Late work will be accepted on a case-by-case basis only. Your work must be
your own.
Cheating will result in a grade of 0 for the applicable assignment; further
disciplinary action, including assigning a failing grade (F) for the entire
course may also be taken. Missed work will result in a grade of 0 for the
assignment. Exceptional circumstances should be discussed with the instructor
in advance.
The
numerical course grade will be determined based on the following factors:

Two Lecture Exams (20%
each) |

Unless prior arrangements have been made, assignments which are turned
in past the stated deadline will be assessed a 10% grade penalty.
If
you believe that an assignment or exam has been graded incorrectly, you have
one week from its return date to appeal to me for re-grading. Return it to me
with a document explaining for what part you think you deserve more points and
thoroughly explain why.
