Final Exam (Friday, December 14th, 3:10-5:10pm): 30%
On the exam day, arrive at least 10 minutes before the exam starts.
Final grades are based on the following point system: (no curve)
• 90 % = A range (A- = 90%~93%-, A = 93~100%)
• 80 % = B range (B- = 80%~83%-, B = 83%~87%-, B+ = 87%~90%-)
• 70 % = C range (C- = 70%~73%-, C = 73%~77%-, C+ = 77%~80%-)
• 60 % = D range (D = 60%~65%-, D+ = 65%~70%-)

You must do each homework problem independently. If homework is found to have been
copied, all students involved will receive a 0 on the homework.
No late homework will be accepted.
Submit homework in class or to TA on assignment due date. No mailbox submission will
be accepted.
Attendance:
Lecture attendance is mandatory and will be checked on a regular basis. If a student will be
absent due to a University-sponsored activity a written request for absence is required from the
supervising faculty member a minimum of one week prior to the expected absence. Other
absences should be discussed with the instructor prior to their occurrence. Un-excused absences
due to illness, family emergency, etc. must be discussed with the lecturer after they have
occurred and may require written confirmation by a third party to avoid being penalized.
