IMPORTANT RULE: Students are encouraged to discuss the course topics with the professor and with each other. Any work submitted (Homework, Tests, projects, etc.) should be pledged and signed as the students’ own work, and that there is no any unauthorized help was obtained. Violators will be subject to academic misconduct which might lead to dismissal from the university.

GRADING POLICY:

All tests and final exam are closed book closed notes. Homework will be assigned regularly, collected and graded. Efforts in homework indicate that you are studying and caring about the course and therefore can have an impact on your final grad.  Time for each of the two tests will be announced one week in advance.  Any work submitted must be neat, typed and detailed for partial marks. Your Grade will be calculated as Follows:
