Linear Algebra Text for 1502 (Used for Review)
 
 

Grading Policy 

There are three tests, several quizzes, two required computer projects and a comprehensive final exam. The test grades count 15% each,
the two projects together count 15%, the final exam counts 30%, and the quizzes 10% of the course grade. 

There will be homework, but the homework will not be graded directly. In recitation you will be provided with solutions to the homework problems, and have a chance to discuss them at length. Please use this chance. You will be quizzed on the homework material at regular intervals during the semster.   This amounts to indirect grading of the homework. The quiz problems will be such that if you have been keeping up with the homework, you will find them simple enough. If you do not, you may well find them impossible. So please keep up with the homework -- there is an easy 10 percent of the grade at stake here.

There will be a menu of 6 projects. You can do two additional projects, and use the project grade on these to replace your lowest test grade. You can even do all 6 projects, and preplace your two lowest test grades. Each of the 6 projects has its own due date. These are absolute, so plan ahead. If you miss one, go on to the next. More will likely be added during the year.

There will be no make up tests. If you miss a test, you must do extra projects to make up for it, as described above.
