Office hours:
Mondays: 1140 to 1230
Wednesdays: 1600 to 1645.
Tuesdays and Fridays: 0940 to 1030.

Academic honesty:
All students are expected to be familiar with and adhere to the policies
and standards given in the BSU
Student Code of Conduct.
Cell phones, paging devices, etc.:
Please turn off all
cell phones, paging devices, and the like
during class.
Late work and/or extensions:
If you seek an extension on graded work
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 I have graded you 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 on semi-regular
homework
assignments. These assignments will include a combination of
theoretical and computational exercises, along with some computer programming.
There will also be a final exam or
final project of some sort; we will discuss this in class.
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 > 97
A: 93 < x < 97
A-: 90 < x < 93
B+: 87 < x < 90
B: 83 < x < 87
B-: 80 < x < 83
C+: 77 < x < 80
C: 73 < x < 77
C-: 70 < x < 73
D: 60 < x < 70
F: x < 60
