Syllabus: The course covers most of chapters 1-3, 5 & 7 and selected sections from chapters 6, 9-12.
Grading System: Your grade will be based on two in-class tests, homework, and a final examination. Each in-class test will count for 25% of your grade, the homework for 20%, and the final examination will count for the remaining 30%. Your letter grade will be assigned this way: 90-100%, A; 80-89%, B; 70-79%, C; 60-69%, D; 59% or less, F.
Make-up Policy: I will give make-ups (or satisfactory equivalents) only in cases authorized under TAMU Regulations. In borderline cases, I will decide whether or not the excuse is authorized. Also, if you miss a test, contact me as soon as possible.
Homework Assignments: I will assign and collect homework about once per week. Late homework will be accepted (or excused completely) only for legitimate reasons, and may be penalized if circumstances warrant.
