will not be collected. Students are encouraged to work with others on these
problems.
Tutorials
Tutorial sessions will start in week 3. There are ten tutorials in total. There
will be no tutorial in week 7 (the midterm week).
Attendance
Students are expected to attend all lectures and tutorials. Though monitoring
attendance in lectures is difficult given the size of our class, attendance of
tutorials will be taken. Under faculty policy, three or more unexcused
absences from tutorials will be reported to the Deans office.
Participation
Grading of participation is based on 1) presentation in tutorials and 2) general
participation in tutorials. Presentation and general participation each accounts
for 5% of the final grade. During each tutorial, students will present the
solutions to the practice problems assigned in the previous lecture. Every
student needs to present once in the semester. Presentations are graded based
on content (concepts and logic) and delivery (clarity and organization), but not
on correctness. General participation is graded based on attendance and how
actively involved a student is in tutorial discussions. If a student presents more
than once in the semester, only his/her first presentation will be graded, but
he/she will get more points on general participation.
Exams
There will be a closed-book midterm exam and a cumulative, closed-book
final exam. Midterm exam will be held on 1 October at 2:10 pm. There will
be no lecture in that week (week 7). If a student misses the midterm exam,
he/she needs to provide valid reason and proof to qualify for a makeup
midterm. Note that to be fair to the entire class, any makeup midterm will be
more difficult than the original one. Final exam will be held on 26 November
at 9 am.
Other Policies
Silence your mobile phones in lectures and tutorials.
Dishonest practices on the exams and homework problem sets, or in the
course generally are unacceptable. Any suspected cases of dishonesty will
be reported and handled according to university policy.
