Please read these notes on plagiarism and academic integrity.
The assessment for this course will consist of
- Final exam
- Two midterms
- Weekly quizzes
Your final grade will be computed by the following formula
- Quizzes = 10%, Midterm = 40%, Exam = 50%
The questions for the exam, midterms and quizzes will be based on the homework questions
If a quiz is missed for a documented medical or other reason, it will be ignored.
Note that, original written documentation, for example a doctor's note or letter from a coach, is required; otherwise, a score of 0 will be given for the missed quiz or midterm.
Permission to write a makeup midterm or reweighting of other course components may be granted in the following two circumstances:
- (a) prior notice of a valid, documented absence (e.g. out-of-town varsity athletic commitment) on the scheduled date; or
- (b) notification to the instructor within 72 hours of absence due to medical condition.
Please do not eat leftover sushi before your midterms or exam. It is surprising how many students become ill because of this.

Please find suggested weekly homework problems on the common homework website
The weeks refer to the weeks of classes
I will do my best to keep to this schedule --- but it is possible that we will be out of slightly sync from time to time.
Homework will not be collected, however the quizzes will be based on these problems.

10 minute quizzes will be given each Friday, excepting if there is a Midterm or a holiday.
They will cover (approximately) the work from the previous week

Unless otherwise stated, no calculators and no formula sheets will be allowed for the exam, the midterms and quizzes.
Instead you should look at these notes on how to take lecture notes here and here.

If a quiz is missed for a documented medical or other reason, it will be ignored, with other quizzes reweighted to compensate for the missed quiz.
In the case of a missed midterm, permission to write a makeup midterm or reweighting of other course components may be granted in the following two circumstances:
- (a) prior notice of a valid, documented absence (e.g. out-of-town varsity athletic commitment) on the scheduled date; or
- (b) notification to the instructor within 72 hours of absence due to medical condition. Original written documentation, for example a doctor’s note or letter from a coach, is required in all cases;
- otherwise a score of 0 will be assigned for the missed quiz or midterm.
