Academic honesty and appropriate behavior:
All students are expected to be familiar with and adhere to the policies and standards given in the BSU Student Code of Conduct. In addition, if you must have a cellular telephone or paging device on during class, please sit by the door so you can make a hasty and quiet exit if you are called.

Late work and/or extensions:
If you seek an extension on an assignment and the request occurs after the due date or time, your request will be summarily denied (except in the most extraordinary circumstances). Such requests that occur before the due date and time will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Contesting grades:
If you think you have been graded unfairly on a particular assignment, you must bring this to my attention within a week from the time that the assignment was returned to the class. After a week I will not consider any requests to review and possibly change my grading.

Grading policy:
Your grade will be determined by your performance in three areas:

Homework (60%) -- Homework exercises will be assigned on a weekly basis. Each new assignment will be available on the Internet on Thursday before class and will be due at the beginning of the next class.
Midterm exam (20%) -- 16 October, during regularly scheduled class. Collaborative work on the midterm exam is not permitted. Please download my solutions of the midterm exam.
Final exam (20%) -- 11 December, during regularly scheduled class. Collaborative work on the final exam is not permitted.

Your grade will be computed via the following algorithm. Let x be the number of points accumulated throughout the semester (between 0 and 100):

A: x > 90
B: 80 < x < 90
C: 70 < x < 80
D: 60 < x < 70
F: x < 60
