Grading:
Section counts for 20% of your total grade.  Homework will be due at the end of every class, and we will have short quizzes all weeks except exam weeks.  If you are turning your homework in at any other time there will be a folder outside my office and it should be turned in there with your section number clearly labeled.  I will excuse 2 weeks of work, if you anticipate missing more then 2 weeks for a legitimate reason please let me know.  I will be grading homework problems and quizzes on a scale of 0-3 as follows. 

0- nothing correct
1- something correct
2- mostly correct
3- completely correct

As I have around 90 students I will not be able to give a great amount of feedback on the homework.  I will try to point out any common mistakes in class.
Homework:
Homework problems are posted on the main course website given above.  Your homework should be on standard size paper, and stapled in the upper left hand corner.  If you do not have a stapler they are available in the math library on B2 of Van Vleck among other places.  Please clearly label your homework with your name (and section if handed in outside of class).
Quizzes:
Quizzes with be short (approximately 5 minutes) and will be base on homework material.  If you are comfortable with the homework from the week you should have no trouble with the quizzes.
