Evaluation and Grading

• Scores and grade
  • The final grade for the course depends on the averaged score for home work assignments (this score is denoted by hw), scores for two midterm exams (denoted by ex₁ and ex₂), score for the final exam (ex₃), and some amount of bonus points.
  • The total score will be computed according to the formula:
    total score = (25*hw + 25*ex₁ + 25*ex₂ + 25*ex₃) / 100 + bonus
  • The total score will be translated into the final grade according to the following table:

    	A : 93 - 96	A- : 90 - 92
    B+ : 87 - 89	B : 83 - 86	B- : 80 - 82
    C+ : 77 - 79	C : 73 - 76	C- : 70 - 72
    D+ : 67 - 69	D : 63 - 66	D- : 60 - 62
    F : 0 - 59

• Assignments (30%)
  Take home exercises will be regularly assigned, collected, graded and returned. The students are allowed to discuss the problems in groups, however writings must be done strictly individually. Returning identical work is qualified as cheating (see below).
  • Maximum score for each assignment is 100 points.
  • If hw₁, hw₂, ... , hw₁₂ are the scores for these assignments (each number in the range 0 to 100), then the total score for the assignments is the average of these scores, that is
    hw = (hw₁ + hw₂ + ... + hw₁₂) / 12
    rounded off to the nearest integer from above.

• Midterm exams (two of them, each worth 20%)
  One exam will be given after 3-5 weeks of the beginning of the course, and another one will be given about 2-4 weeks before the end of the course. The maximum score for each midterm exam is 100 points.
  • The first exam covers the material from the first part of the course.
  • The second exam emphasizes on the material covered after the first exam.
  • The midterm exams, including possible take-home parts, must be done strictly individually, so no collective solutions or discussions are allowed.
  • No late submission of the take-home part (if assigned) is accepted.

• Final exam (30%)
  Date/time in Final Examination Schedule. The maximum score for the final exam is 100 points.
  • The final exam is comprehensive. So, any course content from the entire semester is fair game.
  • The final exam must be done strictly individually, so no collective solutions or discussions are allowed.
  • No late submission of the take-home part (if assigned) is accepted.

• Bonus points (0-6)
  Bonus points will be issued during the last week of classes for:
  • participation in course related discussions in class (0-2 points)
  • quality and completeness of homeworks (0-2 points)
  • overall progress in class (0-2 points)

Class Policies

• Instructor retains the right to make any and all deletions, additions and changes to the requirements or structure of the course and its materials as deemed necessary.
• No class work is accepted after the Final Exam.
• Group work for homework assignments (but not for exams) is allowed. However, after a joint work the authors are required to separate and repeat this work individually without referring to the designed solution.
• Representing someone else's work as your own without referencing or permitting another student to do so with your work is cheating.
  Cheating might result in failing the class with the grade F and other administrative actions described in UWS14.03 UW-System Administrative Code Student Academic Disciplinary Procedures.
• A make up of an exam is allowed if an unavoidable absence occurs. A reason for absence must be documented.
• Students are required to check with the instructor if they find some of these rules unclear, before taking an action.

Suggestions for Success in Class

• Do not miss classes. The class discussions emphasize on many particular aspects, a good number of them is not in the textbook or spread out over several chapters in the book so that it might be difficult to find them. These details may be very helpful for your work on the assignments.
• Ask right away in class or after the class if something is not clear.
• Read in the books the topics that are covered in class on the same day after the class. Just working on the material during the class hours is far from being enough. It is expected that a student would spend at least 2 hours in average working through the material after each class.
• Prepare yourself for the next class. That is, read in advance the material to be explained in class. Refer to the Course Outline to figure out what will be covered (it will also be announced at the end of each class). It would be much easier for you then to follow the discussion in class. In addition you would know what to pay a particular attention on and what questions to ask.
• Come to the instructor's office hours (or make a special appointment) and do not let the unclear stuff to accumulate.
• Try to find time to solve as many problems as possible (even more than it is assigned). Solving the problems is the only way to learn how to solve them.

  When weather conditions are dangerous, students will be informed via the media about class cancellations. Students should not call Campus Safety.
• Accommodation of Religious Beliefs
  Student's sincerely held religious beliefs should be reasonably accommodated with respect to scheduling all examinations and other academic requirements. Students should inform the instructor of these needs at the start of the semester.
• Disabilities Accommodation
  Adaptations of methods, materials or testing will be made to accommodate educational participation. Students should inform the instructor of these needs at the start of the semester.
