Homework:

Homeworks will not be turned in for a grade. However, if you do not work problems, you will not learn the material. If you want to earn a C or better in this course, you should plan to spend at least 8 HOURS outside of class EVERY WEEK studying and working homework problems.

It is essential to work as many exercises as possible from the homework. Each section contains problems that cover many different topics and range in level of difficulty. Be sure to work all of the different types of problems and be sure to work the more difficult problems or you will not be prepared for the exams. A student solution book is available that contains solutions to the odd-numbered problems. DO NOT LOOK at the solutions while you are working problems. You should use the solutions only to check your work after it is complete.

Examinations:

There will be four in-class midterm exams and one final exam on the following dates.

First Midterm: Monday, Feb. 11
Second Midterm: Monday, March 3
Third Midterm: Monday, March 31
Fourth Midterm: Monday, April 21
Final Exam: Monday, May 12 from 10:00am–12:00pm in PHY 151

Course grades:

The course grades will be determined as follows:

First Midterm	15%
Second Midterm	15%
Third Midterm	15%
Fourth Midterm	15%
Final Exam	40%

The class grades will be curved. I will not set the curve until after the final exam, however after each midterm I will announce in class roughly what the cut-offs are for the letter grades for that exam—but only as a guideline.

Missed exams:

Contact me in advance if you will not be able to attend a scheduled examination due to religious observance or official university approved activity. If you do not talk to me before the exam, you will not be able to make up the exam, unless you can provide proof of illness, such as a doctor’s note on official letterhead.

Drop/audit policy:

Last day to switch to audit (Feb 4). Last day to withdraw without “W” (Feb 18). Last day to withdraw with a “W” (March 14).

Official university policies:

Room changes, course cancellations, etc. are valid only if posted on official Department letterhead.
If you need special accommodations in order to meet any of the requirements of the course, please contact me as soon as possible.
Students will be allowed to complete examinations or other requirements that are missed because of a religious observance.
Statement of Academic Misconduct: The University has a responsibility to promote academic honesty and integrity and to develop procedures to deal effectively with instances of academic dishonesty. Students are responsible for the honest completion and representation of their work, for the appropriate citation of sources, and for the respect of others’ academic endeavors. Further information can be found at http://www.uwm.edu/Dept/Acad_Aff/policy/academicmisconduct.html.
Statement of Sexual Harassment: Sexual harassment is reprehensible and will not be tolerated by the University. It subverts the mission of the University and threatens the careers, educational experience, and well being of students, faculty, and staff. The University will not tolerate behavior between or among members of the University community which creates an unacceptable working environment. The draft policy on discriminatory conduct, including sexual harassment, can be found at http://www.uwm.edu/Dept/uc/briefings/S-47-Mar05rev.pdf.
