六、成績考核(Evaluation)

A 10-15 minute quiz usually is given every Tuesday at the beginning of the second class period.
Exceptions such as during test weeks, will be announced.

Quizzes are closed notes and closed book. No make-up quizzes are given for any reason,
but the two lowest quizzes grades will be dropped. Usually quiz questions are
problems from the textbook, possibly slightly modified.

Homework will be assigned approximately weekly and is due on Thursday unless otherwise specified.
On each assignment, some problems will be graded and they are chosen randomly.

  • Print name in top right corner of the first page.
  • Staple all pages together. Otherwise, we may loose them.
  • For each day late, one problem will not be graded.


    There are two 100-minute mid-term examinations evening tests and one two-hour final examination.
    All are closed book and closed note. For mid-term examinations,
    you are allowed to bring one-sided of A4 paper. For final examinations,
    you are allowed to bring three one-sided A4 papers of note.


    All tests are comprehensive, but have emphasis on material covered since the
    previous exam. Exam questions are typically not from the book.
