Attendanc e Pol icyEach student is responsible for all materials presented and all announcements made in class. Youare required to attend classes since most lecture notes will not be posted on the RPI LMS website.

There is a strong correlation on attending classes, doing in-class problems and homework

assignments on the overall performance of this class.

Other Course Pol ic ies

Organization:The five sections of TF1 will be taught using a common syllabus and textbook, with mostly common homework assignments. However, exams will be prepared independently, and grading

of each section will be carried out independently.

The course is structured into two-110 minute lectures per week. Each class will be divided into

lecture sessions, in-class participation sessions by the students, and sessions on solutions to the

in-class problems.

Lecture Notes:Lectures will be done on an ELMO and most lecture notes will not be posted on the RPI LMS

website Therefore students are required to attend lectures Solutions to the in-class problems



Exams:Three mid-semester exams (open book, open notes & closed book, closed notes) are scheduled

on the syllabus. No make-up exams will be given for mid-semester exams. If you need to missthe final exam you should make arrangements in advance. A written excuse from a physician,athletic coach, or the Dean of Students Office is required.

Exam Schedule:Exam 1 Tuesday, September 29, 2015

Exam 2 Tuesday, November 3, 2015

Exam 3 Tuesday, November 24, 2015

Final Exam:

There will be a three-hour final exam. Final exam week is December 16-22, 2015. You should

make no travel plans until your final exam schedule is established.

Grading Criter iaHomework: 5%Quizzes: 5%

Mid-term exams (3 @ 25% each): 75%

Drop lowest mid-term exam: - 25%

Final exam: 40%

If you detect an error in the grading of your exam, you must submit a written explanation and

request for re-grade before the end of the next class after the exam is returned to you.

Other:

Outrageous offenses such as arranging for a substitute to take an examination, attempting to

obtain examination questions or solutions in advance, or attempting to change a grade record willresult in a failing grade for the course and a recommendation to the Dean of Students that thestudent(s) in question be suspended.

If you have any question concerning this policy before submitting an assignment, please ask for

clarification.
