EXAMINATIONS: There will be 3 major exams given in advance during the semester. No make-up exam will be given. Absence from these exams will result in a zero grade. A comprehensive final will be administered during final exam week. This is a requirement of the course. Exam Questions will be asked from deductive reasoning from the material presented in Class, Home Work and Reading assignment. Each exam will be build upon the next one. Students should come on time for these exams.

HOMEWORK:

Homework assignment will consist of:

1 . Reading sections in the text

2. Answering questions

3. Problems

It is essential for students to do assignments on a daily basis. Selected problems will be discussed in the class as time and demand permits. The reading assignments are made in advance of the lectures that cover the reading material. The lectures are designed to reinforce the students reading not for the students to learn the entire course from the lectures. It is very important for the students to carefully and perceptively read the assignments (before /after )the lectures. Some elementary material that needs little explanation will be assigned for reading and not covered in the class.

LABORATORY/COMPUTER PROJECTS:

Report should be done neatly. Late reports will not be graded. Students should come on time for the lab.

PREPARATION AND PREREQUISITES:

Students are required to have completed the appropriate prerequisite Math/Physics courses or their equivalent to be enrolled in a course. Students who have not completed the prerequisite courses are ineligible for enrollment in a course and will not be given a final grade if they do not withdraw. Students should either be concurrently enrolled in the required Math course or have completed it or an equivalent course. Students are required to have a working knowledge of the topics involved in the prerequisite courses and all their prerequisites at least at the level of having passed the courses at the B level. If the student feels insecure in his/her depth of knowledge in these areas it is recommended that he/she immediately undertake a brief but thorough review of these subjects in lectures, but the student will be responsible for knowing the material.All the exam problems will be similar to the homework assignments, the example problems in the book or example problems worked out in the lectures.
