Grading:

The equivalences between percent averages and letter grades are given below; plus and minus grades will be assigned for scores near the cutoffs.

Exams: Exams will be of the take-home variety. A midterm will be distributed on October 20 and will be due October 27. The final will be distributed the last day of class, December 10, and will be due no later than 2:00 PM December 17. Students may not work together on the exams.

Homework: Homework assignments will generally be handed out on Mondays and be due the following Monday at the beginning of class. Please write on only one side of the paper. Collaboration on homework is allowed, so long as solutions are not merely copied.

Projects: Students will be assigned several combined analytical/computer problems. Details will be provided.
