Evaluation
Part of the grade will reflect the quality of the
argumentation and the clarity of its exposition. Solutions
limited to formulas spread over the page will get less credit
than solutions that are explained. Use the book as an example
of how to write.The final grade is composed of the grades obtained in quizzes, homework assignments and two exams. There will not be make-up quizzes and all assignments have to be delivered on the due date. No late assignments will be accepted.

Attendance policy. Attendance to the

Academic honesty. As worded by the University of Delaware All students must be honest and forthright in their academic studies. To falsify the results of one's research, to steal the words or ideas of another, to cheat on an assignment, or to allow or assist another to commit these acts corrupts the educational process. Students are expected to do their own work and neither give nor receive unauthorized assistance. Any violation of this standard must be reported to the Office of Student Conduct. For more details, check http://www.udel.edu/stuguide/11-12/code.html#honesty. Unless you are asked to do so in a concrete assignment, you cannot colaborate with your colleagues in assignments and projects. Cheating of any kind (even if the student does not take any advantage from it) will be grounds for an F grade.
