Grading

Miscellaneous

1. Homework will be assigned regularly in the first half of the course. It will be due at the beginning of class. As a rule, I do not accept late homework. Please try to do the homework on your own. Certainly you can talk to me or other students about the problems.

2. If you would like to audit the course, I require at least a 50% grade on homework to get an official audit.

3. Academic Integrity: It is the understanding and expectation that a student's signature on any test or assignment means that the student neither gave nor received unauthorized aid. Consult the following website for further details on the code of student conduct: http://www2.ncsu.edu/prr/student_services/student_conduct/POL445.00.1.htm
