• Homework.   There will be weekly homework sets, due Fridays 5:30pm. Homework due dates will be strict; however, I will drop the two lowest homework scores. 
• You may work with classmates on the homework. However, you must write up your answers individually, and credit your collaborators.
• Although I encourage you not to refer to other texts in the solving of homework problems, you may do so as long as you list all references used.
• The more problems you work through the better!!! I encourage you to do more than just the problems assigned as homework.                         
                        
• Exams .   There will be two exams: an in-class midterm on Tuesday October 18  and a final on Tuesday December 20, 1-3pm. 
• Grading System .   Your grade will be based on the following.

            Students taking the course with the "Credit/No Credit" ("Pass/Fail") grading option must earn a grade of "D" or better to receive a "pass".

            Any students taking the course on an "audit" basis should talk with the instructor to determine what criteria will be used to award a grade of "successful audit."
