Exams:
Bring your student Id for all the exams: Midterms and Final!
There will be a comprehensive final examination and two midterm exams. All exams are "closed notes, closed book, not laptops, no calculators". You are not allowed laptops, cell phones (or other means of electronic communication) during the exam. If I (or a TA) see you having such a tool of electronic communication during an exam, it will be grounds for 0 score for the exam.
Midterm 1: Monday, February 6, HARING 2205. No Make-ups!
Midterm 2: Monday, March 6, HARING 2205. No Make-ups!
Final Exam: Monday, March 20, 3:30—5:30 PM. HARING 2205.
Solutions for the exams, scores and grades will be posted at the SmartSite page for this class.
Grading:
Homework =20%, Midterm I =20%, Midterm II =20%, Final Exam =40%.
There will be no makeup midterm given. If you miss a midterm for a medical reason (or another valid reason, like a sports competition), the final exam will count for 60% (rather than 40%) and the midterm will not count. If you miss both midterms for medical reasons, the final exam will count for 80% and the midterms will not count. I will use curve for the final grade.
Cell phones: Turn them off before the class; offenders' cell phones will be confiscated for (at least) 24 hours.

The Americans with Disabilities Act requires that reasonable accommodations be provided for students with physical, sensory, cognitive, systemic, learning and psychiatric disabilities. Please contact me at the beginning of the quarter to discuss any such accommodations for the course. You have to bring me a disability letter at least 7 days prior to the exam so I can make appropriate arrangements.
