Homework

Complete solutions will be made available in the Engineering Copy Center (Room 202, Engineering Library) on Wednesday afternoons. Late homework will not be accepted. If you desire, you may work on homework in small study groups, but make certain you do the bulk of the work individually. You won't have your study group partners to help you on exams!

Exams

There will be two one-hour exams during the quarter. Each one-hour exam is worth 100 points towards your course grade. The final exam will be comprehensive and will count for 150 points. There will be no makeup exams.

Quizzes

There will be quizzes each week during the first 10 — 15 minutes of the Problem Section. The two lowest quizzes will be dropped. Any missed quizzes (up to a maximum of 2) will automatically be dropped with no chance of a makeup. The sum of your best quizzes will account for 75 points towards your course grade.
