GRADE: We will use Canvas for grading. Course grade will be based on the following:

  • 2 Homeworks:         (Wed, October 7 Due 14, November 4 Due 11)             30 points each
  • TakeHome Midterm 1  (Friday, October 23,     During Class Time):                                                 100 points
  • TakeHome Midterm 2  (Friday November 20, During Class Time):                                                 100 points
  • Final (Section B: Thu, December 17—1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m., \\ \\ \\ Section 0U1: Wed, December 16—1:00 p.m-3:00 p.m.).  It covers the whole course:                         200 points
  • TOTAL: 460 points.

MIDTERMS AND FINAL RULES: Midterms will start at normal class time, that day, I will be on Zoom about 20 minutes, just in case you are having technical problems, but I will not answer any questions related to interpretation of the exam; you do NOT need to connect via Zoom unless you are having technical problems to receive the exam. The exam will be posted below, then you will have 1 hour to solve it (remember the academic integrity) and 5 extra hours to submit your solutions on Canvas. 

For Final same Zoom rules, you will have 2 hours to solve the exam (remember the academic integrity) and 5 extra hours to submit your solutions on Canvas.

HOMEWORKS:     Both of them are Due at 5:00PM. Solve and upload your solutions to ALL problems on Canvas (pdf and jpg files are fine); after the Due, only 3 problems will be randomly selected and graded, each problem is worth 10 points.

  • Homework 1: Download  HERE!!!
  • Sample Midterm 1:  Download   HERE!      Correction. Problem 3(b) last line: 2/9 instead of 2.  Solutions_to_Problem_1

  • Midterm 1: For Section U. Download_HERE                 Solutions!    
  • Homework 2:   Download HERE!!!   
  • Sample Midterm 2: Download HERE        Typo: There are four problems 1,2,3,4, but they are labeled as 1,2,2,4, nothing to worry about, since this is a sample. In your exam there will be 4 problems as well and all lab                                                          REMARK: In Problem 1, \(g\) denotes the gravity constant and \(\rho= m/V\)  is the density.  
  • Solutions to Problem 4. HERE!   Typo: In item (a) solution: \(\ \ \dfrac{dy}{dx}=\pm\dfrac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}\), meaning + for \(y_1\) and \(-\) for \(y_2\)

  • Final: We will evaluate ALL covered sections. And each question has to be uploaded in a different link via Gradescope, instead of a single file.
  • FINAL Section B: Download HERE  

 

Grading curve: Will be set at the end of the course, depending on the mean (over all students) of the total number of points. However, students having less than 40% will be assigned grade F and students in the range 41-50% will be assigned grade D.

ADDITIONAL POLICIES:

Use of books, notes, calculators, or anything else but pencil and paper, will not be allowed in the final (you will sign the Honor Statement).

Talking, texting, newspaper reading, etc. disrupt the lectures, use electronic devices for non-academic purposes during lectures is prohibited.

If you have any problem at all that requires special accomodation, please let me know well in advance!

There will be no make-up homeworks nor make-up exams. A missed exam counts as 0 points. If you miss the final you will automatically receive an F. The grade I (Incomplete) will not be given in any circumstances.

By signing the ..., I hereby declare that I solved this exam by my own, without any external collaboration (like friends, internet solutions, etc). If needed, I am allowed to use our lecture notes only. I understand that the main purpose of this exam is to show how much I have learned in this course, holding myself to a high standard of academic integrity, and that suspected misconduct on this exam will be reported to the Office of Student Support and Judicial Affairs and, if established, will result in disciplinary sanctions up through Dismissal from the University and a grade penalty up to a grade of ‘F’ for the course.
