Grading:
Grades will be determined from the two midterms (100
points each), the final (150 points), and 25 points at my discretion for participation.
Homework will not be turned in. Problem sessions
will focus mainly on the homework, however. No assignments were made
for in-chapter exercises; as you read the chapters, work those exercises
as needed for your understanding. That is left to your discretion.
Likewise, you may not find it profitable to work all the subsections of a
given problem at the end of the chapters. This is especially true of the drill
problems. Work a few to make sure you understand the principle/concept
involved. The underlying principle is: work problems until you
understand the concepts completely.
