The take-home assignments will consist of problems sets that will be graded and several class assignments in the form of readings or problems to be done at home but that will not be handed in.

Class participation is strongly encouraged. Class participation is not only 5% of your grade but also decisions on borderline grades will take into consideration the class participation of the student during the term.

Although class attendance is not directly represented as part of your grade, if you are absent from class you will miss points from class assignments and class participation and this will be reflected in your grade.

There will be no make-up exams.

Problem sets are due at the beginning of the stated class period. Under no circumstances will problem sets be accepted late.
