Homework:	Approximately weekly homework assignments
Examinations:	Two mid-terms and a final exam
Grading Policy:	Performance will be evaluated through attendance, weekly homework assignments, two mid-terms and a final exam. Graduate students will be graded on separate criteria. Specifically, they will be assigned more advanced homework and examinations commensurate with the higher level of performance expected of them.  Graduate students will also be required to complete a term assignment. The course grade will be weighted as follows: Undergraduates: Homeworks = 40%, Exams = 3x20% Graduates: Homeworks = 30%, Exams = 3x20%, Assignment = 10%
Student Responsibilities:	You are expected to follow the University of Arizona Code of Academic Integrity and to treat fellow students, teaching assistants, and the instructor with courtesy and respect. Participate actively in the learning process by reading textbook assignments as they are given, thinking about what you are writing as you take notes in class, completing and turning in assignments on time, and asking questions about confusing class or textbook material.
