Course Policies

Course Grading
Homeworks/Essays 50%
Final Project 40%
Class Participation 10%

Grading: Course Grading scheme is given above.

Homeworks: Each homework assignment will consist of simple problems/questions designed to test your reading and understanding of the material presented in class. The grading will be based on the assigned point values to problems and essay questions according to the level of difficulty. You can turn in the homeworks in class, bring it to my office (LASR 210), or put them in my mailbox (#23) in the LASR building.

Late Policy: To be fair to other students, the homeworks turned in late will have 10% taken off the total score for each late day (including weekends). Homework is considered late if I do not have it by 5PM of the due date. Homeworks turned in more than a week after the due date will not be accepted.

Class participation: during the lectures I may ask you questions to provoke some thinking, to make a point more clear, or to test understanding of the previous lectures. Overall class participation will be graded and will contribute 10% to your total grade.
