Grading:
25% Homework
10% Online Quizzes
5% CHiPPs
20% First Midterm
20% Second Midterm
20% Final
Your lowest quiz grade and your lowest homework grade will be dropped when calculating your final grade. In addition, everyone will receive 10 free CHiPPs points. Any evidence of cheating on homeworks, exams, or in-class participation will be reported to Student Judicial Affairs. You should be very familiar with the Code of Academic Conduct.
Homework: There will be weekly homework assignments to help you digest the material. The midterms and final will be based on very similar problems to those covered in the homework assignments. Homework should be placed in the locked boxes at the back of RESSLR 66. It will be picked up 15 minutes after the start of class. No late homework will be accepted.
Online Quizzes: To encourage you to read ahead and give you credit for doing so, there will be a very short online quiz (only a few questions) due every TUESDAY which covers the coming week's reading. These quizzes must be completed by 10:00 AM. (Do not wait to the last minute as the on-line system can sometimes be flaky.)
Classroom High-Tech Participation Points (CHiPPs): During lectures, I will periodically ask questions which can be answered using your hand-held devices. Your answers will be recorded, tallied, and displayed by the computer. All in-class responses will be displayed anonymously, so click without fear! Right answers are not necessary! You will earn extra credit just for participating (and some more for getting the right answers). For more information on our new system, see Interwrite Learning.
