Tests and Exam:
No
books or notes are permitted for any midterm test. All cell phones must be turned off and kept
in backpacks during any in-class test or exam. No make-up exams will be given
unless a compelling documented excuse is presented. Final exam format will be
announced before the Thanksgiving break. You are taking this
course under the guideline of LSU Code of Student Conduct .
The University has clear policies requiring academic honesty. If there is clear evidence that a student has
committed fraud to advance his/her academic status (e.g. cheating on a test or
exam), your instructor will report to the Office of the Dean of Students.
Homework:
Homework will be assigned weekly
on this course homepage. They will not be collected but it is strongly recommended that you
finish your homework on time. The questions in the quizzes, midterm exams and the final
exam will be similar to those homework problems. Students are recommended to
work in groups on the homework, but each student should write up his/her own
solutions on paper.
Quizzes:
There will be weekly
quizzes. Each quiz is about 15-20 minutes long, largely consists of problems
chosen from homework assignments. No make-up quizzes will
be given unless a compelling documented excuse is presented.
Attendance and class
preparation:
Regular
attendance is required for this course. You should make every effort not to
miss any class and complete all the homework in a timely fashion. It is your
responsibility to catch up with missed lectures. You are responsible for the
announcements made in class.
General Advice:
The
amount of material to be covered in this course is substantial. To do well in
this class, students are recommended to spend at least two hour each day on
reading the sections covered, reviewing notes and working assigned homework.
