Notes |
- Homeworks are due in-class by the start of class each Friday.
NO LATE HOMEWORKS except for extenuating circumstances.
Homework turned in after the start of class up to 5pm on the due date
(including coming to class late) will be penalized 10%; after that they will
receive a zero mark.
If you can't make it to class, have a friend hand it in
for you or make prior arrangements with the instructor.
- If you turn in your homework on-time, you can expect
the TA to have it marked within a week. If you turn in your homework late,
the TA can take as long as he/she needs: you forfeit the privilege of getting
prompt feedback.
- Note that only a few questions from each homework might be marked.
Study groups are encouraged, but the final draft that you hand in must be
your own work -- don't just copy another's work!
All work must be shown for full marks.
- A scientific calculator is required; graphing or special statistical
functions are not required. Please have a separate calculator from your
cell phone or PDA.
- During in-class quizzes/exams, all of the following are not permitted
and should be left in your closed/zipped bag and put on the floor:
- Textbooks, notes, cell phones, laptops, PDAs, iPods, dictionaries
- During in-class quizzes/exams, your desk should be clear except for
your pencil/pen and your calculator.
You should have your own calculator; sharing of calculators is not permitted.
Please also use a calculator separate from your cell phone.
- Students who miss more than 25% of class sessions may be barred from taking
the final exam [2007-2008 Academic Calendar p.18].
