Class Homework
Homework is due in by 5pm to Paul Scowen's mailbox on the 6th floor of the F-wing in the Bateman Physical Sciences Complex on the due date listed. Questions should be addressed to the instructor via email or at his office hours. Homework is only expected from students taking the course for credit. Late homework is not accepted - late homework will be assessed a zero. Electronic submission of homework is also not accepted - paper copy to the instructor's mailbox is the only accepted method of submission - the work can be typed or handwritten, but it must be submitted on paper. Plagiarism or copying will result in a zero for both students involved.

Class Grades
These are the relative weights of the scoring for the final class grade:
Homework: 30%
Class Project: 30%
Exams: 40% (10% Midterm, 30% Final)
Intermediate grades have been assigned based on 90=A, 80=B, etc. but the final assigned class grade will be curved and will therefore depend on how you do relative to your peers.
