Homework will normally be given and collected each week. There will be two "mid-term" exams and a final. The first midterm will be given before the withdrawal deadline. The final exam is scheduled by the university and cannot be altered. The final exam is comprehensive.
No late homework will be accepted and no make-up
tests will be given. Homeworks
are
always due during class on the due date. A missed test or homework will
be assigned the score 0. (If you miss one of the "mid-term" tests in an
extreme situation, I will apply your final exam score to that test.)

Class Attendance and Participation are very important in this class. You are responsible for all information and announcements given in class, such as time and schedule changes, ad hoc announcements, etc, even if your absence is excused. This implies that you should not be surprised if you have missed classes and show up for a test originally scheduled, but find it has been given or otherwise rescheduled. In order to protect class from distraction, coming-later-for and leaving-early-from classes are discouraged. Please let me know in advance if you must come late or leave early. If you missed classes or came late to classes, try first to obtain missed information from your classmates.
Collaboration and UGA Academic Honesty Policy : You are encouraged to form study groups to discuss the material of the course. However, you must write up your own homework with your own words and understanding. Plagiarism, among other things, is prohibited. Above all, UGA Academic Honesty Policy applies: "All students are responsible for maintaining the highest standards of honesty and integrity in every phase of their academic careers. The penalties for academic dishonesty are severe and ignorance is not an acceptable defense." If your homework uses ideas/help of others, you need to acknowledge this in the work. For more information, visit the web page http://www.uga.edu/honesty/ahpd/culture_honesty.htm
Grading Policy: Course grade will be assigned approximately according to: Homework 30%; Tests 40%; Final 30%. The raw points in each of these will be converted to reflect the percentages.
Letter grades are normally given as follows (numbers are in
percentages): A = 90 to 100; A- = 88
to 90-; B+ = 85 to 88-; B = 80 to 85-; B- = 78 to 80-; C+ = 75 to 78-;
C = 70 to 75-; C- = 65 to 70-; D = 55 to 65-; F = 0 to 55-.
If your circumstance requires special arrangement, please
let me
know. I will be glad to accomodate.
