Grading

20% Homework: I will assign homework after every two lectures so to keep you up to speed with material.  Late homeworks will not be accepted.

30% Midterm (August 20): At the end of the third week, we will have a midterm covering the first three chapters, or what I can get done up until that point. 

50% Final Exam (September 10) : We will have an in class final during the last scheduled lecture.  The exam will be cumulative, but will emphasize chapters six and seven.



Philosophy

Homework
I strongly encourage collaboration among students.  However, please write up solutions to homeworks by yourself.
If you have a specific question, please come to office hours!

Exams
Review all homework problems and be sure you can solve them on your own without referring back to solutions.
Do this with the help of a few classmates; explaining topics to each other is a strong indication you all understand the material.




Exam Information

No calculators or any electronic device will be allowed for any exam.  You will be graded on organization, presentation and clarity. 
No make-up exams will be allowed.  A missed exam will result in a zero for the score.




CODE OF ACADEMIC CONDUCT

Honor and Academic Integrity: UC Davis Traditions Since 1911

All members of the academic community are responsible for the academic integrity of the Davis campus. Existing policies forbid cheating on examinations, plagiarism and other forms of academic dishonesty. Academic dishonesty is contrary to the purposes of the University and is not to be tolerated. A code of conduct for the campus community must exist in order to support high standards of behavior. Under the Code of Academic Conduct, adopted in 1976, students, faculty, and administration share responsibility for academic integrity at UC Davis. The Code requires students to act fairly and honestly, and is based on a student honor code established in 1911. Examples of academic misconduct include:
