QUIZZES: Quizzes will occur in lecture and in section, roughly 1 per week.

HOMEWORK: Homework is assigned here: Assigned Problems. It is due when stated, usually Monday in class. There will be two types of problems listed: "turn in" and "don't turn in." Turn in the ones indicated. There won't be many of these, and EXPOSITION will count on the graded problems, which will be a selection from the turn in problems. See the link above for some information about the meaning of "exposition". The problems you don't have to turn in are still important. It will be assumed that you have done them and some of them - or variants - will turn up on quizzes and exams. You can usually check your work against answers in the text.

READING ASSIGNMENTS: They are given here: Assigned Reading. The lecture will contain some material which is not in the assigned readings from the text or differs from it somewhat; conversely, the lectures will not cover in detail everything in the reading assignments. You are responsible for both the material from lectures and the reading assignments.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Look here for announcements: Events and such

ATTENDANCE IN SECTION: Attendance will be taken in Section and points given: 2pts if you arrive on time, 1pt if you arrive late but before the half-way mark, 0 pts otherwise. It is departmental policy to require attendance in Section.

GRADING: Your course score will be computed from: Homework 10%, Quizzes + Midterm 40%, Final 50%. Each component of the course score will be computed as (your score/ normalizing score)*100, yielding your normalized score. I will choose the normalizing score after the fact, but it will likely be less than the "best score by anyone" and it won't be more than that. Thus those with the top raw score will generally have a normalized score of over 100. Roughly speaking, A-,A,A+ will correspond to an overall normalized score in the range 87 - 100+, B's to the range 74-86, C's (including C-) to the range 60-73, and we won't detail the rest. Your attendance points will be considered if your total course score is near a break point between grades. In addition, if your total course score indicates a lower grade than your performance on the final indicates, you may well receive a higher grade than that computed from your total course. This grade will lie somewhere between your final exam grade and your total course grade. I also guarantee an A to the three top grades on the Final.

ABSENCES: If you miss a quiz, homework or the midterm for valid reasons (these are pretty much limited to the death of an immediate family member or illness as certified by a note from a medical professional), your grade will be based on the rest of your record. If you miss a quiz, homework or exam for any other reason, you will be given a grade of zero on the missed item. There will not be a make up midterm.

HOMEWORK: Late homeworks can't be accepted. Write clearly on one side only of 8.5 by 11 inch paper, put your name and the time of your section on every page. STAPLE the pages. Do not use paper ripped from a spiral binder. Nonconforming homeworks will not be graded after the first set or so. The point is to not spend the reader's limited time - which is enough to grade only a few problems - on managing a mess of loose or hard to read pages, etc., rather than on giving you useful feedback.

EXAMS: Exams will be closed book, no calculator. The final will be comprehensive. However, if there is something that a lot of you don't want to remember and I am agreeable, we'll put it on a common "cheat sheet" that everyone may use.
