Rules :

All quizzes and exams are closed-book and closed-notes.

Your solutions, not your answers, are graded. Show your work. No work - no credit.

No late exams or quizzes will be given unless in the case of a serious documented emergency. However, anyone may take an exam/quiz ahead of time.

Homework will be assigned but will not be collected or graded.

Tips :

Keep clean and conveniently arranged lecture notes and homework. It will be your best helper in preparation for quizzes and exams.

A steady effort to work out all the assigned problems is highly recommended.

Use your absolute right to ask questions in class and during instructor's and TA's office hours. For example, any homework problem can be discussed.

For each exam/quiz, review all the new concepts, methods, formulae, etc. Try to understand the methods rather than to memorize them.
