Grading

The final grade will be based on homework: There will be 9 one-week problem sets, due each Thursday by 5pm in the TA's mailbox on the third floor of Annenberg. Each student may hand in at most one homework late (no more than 5 days).

The lowest homework score you receive will be dropped in computing your homework average. In addition, if your score on the final is higher than the weighted average of your homework and final, your final will be used to determine your course grade.

Collaboration Policy

Collaboration on homework assignments is encouraged. You may consult outside reference materials, other students, the TA, or the instructor. Use of solutions from previous years in the course is not allowed. All solutions that are handed should reflect your understanding of the subject matter at the time of writing.
