(*) Please download and read the course syllabus.

(*) Graded homework is divided into four groups based on the first letter in the students' last names. Yonatan and the TAs each have one of the four groups. If one of the TAs has your assignment, you can collect it from their office hours or one of their sections. If Yonatan has your assignment, you can collect it during his office hours  (not at the lectures).

  • A - D: Yonatan has your assignments.
  • E - L: Laura has your assignments.
  • M - R: Christopher has your assignments.
  • S - Z: Wenjie has your assignments.

Reminders for the Final Exam:

  • Yonatan will have office hours on Monday, 3/19, from 1:00 - 2:30 pm. 
  • Wenjie will be in his office (BE 356) 3-4 pm on Tuesday, 3/20, for students to collect HW and exams.
  • Chris will be available Monday, 10 - 11 am on the first floor of the S&E library.
  • The exam is on Wednesday, 3/21, from 8 - 11 am.
  • Bring picture ID.
  • Bring a scientific calculator.
  • No notes or books during the exam.
  • Please leave the two back rows in the classroom empty when you seat yourselves. 
  • Also - fill in the middle seats.

3/16 - An error in the solution to Review problem 6(b) from Chapter 26 has been corrected. 

3/3 - Midterm Score: After calculating your adjusted midterm 2 score (see below), you may want to know your combined midterm score for the course. This is given by

⇒ 0.6×(lower of midterm 1 and midterm 2 scores) + (higher of midterm 1 and midterm 2 scores) ⇐

This gives you a number between 0 and 40. This is your combined midterm score.

(You score in the course will be this number plus the average score of your 7 best HWs plus your score on the final (which is out of 40).) 

3/1 - Midterm 2 Scoring: As I said in class yesterday, the scores on midterm 2 will be adjusted. The score you see on your exam is your raw score (you have to get your midterm from the same person who has your homework to see this score). Your adjusted score (the one I count) is (i) 25 if your raw score is 20 or above, or (ii) 1.25×(raw score) if your raw score is below 20.
