Grades
There will be three midterms (worth 21% each) and a final (worth 28%) which will be the primary basis of your grade. The remaining 9% will come from homework.
Homework
There will be weekly homework assignments which will be collected in recitation. Prof. Ghrist has decided that problems will not be graded individually, but that assignments will be graded for completion. You are encouraged to work together with others on the homework, but you should write your answers in your own words. A good rule of thumb is that you should be able to explain your solution to somebody without looking at your answer.
Late homework will not be accepted. To compensate for emergencies, your lowest two homework scores will be dropped. If you know in advance you will be missing recitation, you may make arrangements to attend a different recitation (and hand in homework then), but you must inform me by the Monday of the week in question.
Help resources
The university offers several services for academic support and more serious troubles. A thorough explanation of these services is available here. For a quick summary:
