Grading Policies:

Item:	Weight:
Exam No. 1	25%
Exam No. 2	25%
Exam No. 3	25%
Final Exam	25%
Special Projects	10% per project

Exams:

We will have three in-class exams in this course and acomprehensive final. Each in-class exam will be closed books and notes. You will be allowed one page (double-sided) of notes for the in-class exams. For the final exam you will be allowed three pages of notes, presumably the same notes you used for the in-class exams. The exams will resemble the homework problems, so it is important that you thoroughly study the homework problems.

In addition, students who have adequate amounts of free time can select and execute special projects on topics that are of interest to you. These will be negotiated on an individual basis with the course lecturer, and must be agreed to in writing before the work can proceed. Typically in this class interesting issues arise that merit extended analysis. Students can earn extra credit by exploring these topics. Projects commonly involve a theoretical derivation, a computer simulation and a four-page paper summarizing the findings.

Attendance Policy:

Attendance is encouraged of course, but does not formally count towards your grade. Most students tend not to do well in this class without frequent interaction with the instructors and the other students on the material.
