Calculator Policy: Calculators are allowed during exams. However, you are expected to show the steps that justify your answers, and to give exact answers whenever possible. This also applies to homework unless the question specifically instructs you to use a computer or calculator. Any step on which you use a calculator must be clearly indicated (just write "CALCULATOR").

Grading: Grades will be based on your understanding of the material as demonstrated in class, office hours, homework, labs, and exams. The homework and lab assignments will be weighted equally, with the lowest score dropped. Grades will be assigned on a curve. More details TBA.

Homework: Depending on the length of the assignment, not all problems may be graded. Late homework is not accepted.
