Assignments
There will be approximately five assignments.
Late Policy
Late assignments will incur a penalty of 10% per day. You will also be allowed a total of 7 "late days" for assignments, to be used at your discretion (this includes sick days, so use them wisely). Using a "late day" will negate the 10% penalty for one day, i.e. each late day extends the deadline by 24 hours. There will be no other extensions on assignments. You may NOT use the late days on the final project.
Exams
A mid-term and a final
Grades
Based on the following weighting:
    Assignments 50%
    Midterm exam 20%
    Final exam 30%
Grading is on a curve, modified to account for overall class quality.
MISSED EXAM: By prior arrangement only, or due to an immediate personal emergency.
Cooperation
I encourage you to discuss approaches to problem solutions with each other. It is unreasonable to collaboratively work out a detailed solution, to copy a solution, or to give away a solution for the assignments. However, I encourage you to work with each other for the final project. All examinations, papers, and other graded work products and assignments are to be completed in conformance with The George Washington University Code of Academic Integrity.
