Reading assignment and lectures

A list of topics covered each week will be provided on LMS. During lectures most of the week's topics will be discussed, but students are expected to read and understand all of the week's topics even those that were not discussed in class. At any time during lectures students are welcome to ask question related to any of the assigned reading so far. If questions are sent in advance dedicated examples and explanations will be provided.

Recitations

A list of question will be suggested for the recitations. Attempted those before the recitations. During recitations some of those problems will be discussed and students will be expected to volunteer answers. Teaching assistants will be providing assistance at that time. The last twenty minutes of every recitation meeting will be devoted to a cumulative quiz of two questions covering any topic covered in the weeks so far.

Exam and quizzes

Exams

There will be two exams during the term and one final exam. There will be a single cumulative make up that will take place after the exam period is over. To take the make-up your department must send the necessary paperwork over the official channels. Please do not contact the instructor or teaching assistants with requests to take the make-up; such requests will automatically be declined.

Quizzes

Except for the week when there are exams there will be weekly quizzes. Of all the twelve quizzes most will be online (via LMS) and the rest will be paper based. Paper based quizzes will be announced in advance.

Quizzes have equal value and from all quizzes only the your best eight will count towards your quiz grade. Thus if you miss some quizzes your quiz grade can be the highest possible. As such there are no make-ups for the quizzes.

Grades

Your grade is calculated using the following formula

Grade = %20 (Quiz) + %20 (Exam 1) + 20% (Exam 2) + 40% (Final)
