Homework page:

Homework problems for the entire semester is posted here
Daily homework assignments will be posted here
Some assignments will be turned in and graded. However, homework grades will not be counted towards exam grades or letter grade for the semester.
If you do not do your homework completely and correctly on time, you are not likely to do terribly well in the course. Also note - if I or my grader can not read your work (or find it EASILY), do not expect much partial credit. Your work needs to be organized, identified, and complete.
There is a TA for this course whose name, office hour, office number and email address will be announced in class and through howdy portal by email.

First and Last day of class:

• First Day: May 31st (It is a Tuesday)

Grading Policy:

• Midterm - 40%, Final - 50%, Perfect Attendance - 10% otherwise you get zero. Please make a special note that ``Perfect Attendance'' makes a difference of one letter grade! Please see the section on Attendance below for the definition of Perfect Attendance.

Attendance:

• It is absolutely mandatory that you come to the class on time and do not leave early. Attendance will be taken and will be complete within 10 minutes of the start of the class, i.e., by 10:10 am. You will be marked absent for that day after the attendance has been taken even if you show up which is very unlikely since door of the classroom may be closed after attendance has been taken. If for any unsual circumstance, you need special provision which falls outside the boundaries of these rules, please provide official documents at least 48 hours in advance and also talk to me in person. In order for you to be considered to have perfect attendance, you will be allowed at most three absences from class in addition to the University authorized absences.

Disruptive behavior

• Please be aware there are special actions that may be taken which falls under University rules for disruptive behavior in class. It is upto my discretion what constitutes a disruptive behavior and I will explain this in class. One example: Walking in and/or out of class during my lecture constitues an example of disruptive behavior. This means you can not walk in my class after I started lecturing unless you have some urgent need or medical reasons in which case you should preferably sit in the back of the classroom and also let me know before start of the class! Another example: talking to your fellow students in class while I am lecturing. If you need to, raise hand and take my permission before you do this. Using cell phone/phones, calculators or reading newspaper or any other course-unrelated materials in class without my authorization are some other examples of disruptive behavior.

Make-up Policy:

• I will give make-ups (or satisfactory equivalents) only in cases authorized under TAMU Regulations.

Copying Course Materials:

• "All printed hand-outs and web-materials are protected by US Copyright Laws. No multiple copies can be made without written permission by the instructor."

Academic Integrity:
