Attendance
Students are expected to come to class regularly and on time. They should be prepared to discuss the textbook material and to have worked on the suggested problems.
 
Homework
Lecturer will suggest problems chosen from the textbook. Students are strongly recommended to work on these problems.
 
Exams
There will be two 50-minutes midterms, and a 120-minutes final exam. All exams will be closed book/closed notes. Calculators are not allowed.  Students whose midterm grades total below 10 cannot take the final exam!

Laboratory
One laboratory session every week.
 
Grading
The weights that will determine the cumulative grade are as follows:
                                                Contribution
                    Midterm I                  20%                   (November 13th, 2009   17:00-18:00)
                    Midterm II                20%                   (December  15th, 2009   17:00-18:00)
                    Lab                             20%
                    Final                           40%

The final grades will be determined according to the distribution of cumulative grades.
