Final 05/09/2012 5:15-7:45; Venue: xxx Final
covers lectures: ALL! |
1.
No late HW
is accepted for any reasons (All HW collection will take place during the first
15 minutes of my lecture on the due date.)
2. All work (HW, quiz, and Final) will be
accounted for the total grade according to the voted result at our first
lecture.
3. Spending valuable time to argue with my TAs on
grades is the most inefficient way to learn anything. BUT, you must check
the posted grades regularly to avoid grading and recording errors!
4. Nobody is allowed to make up HW, quizzes, and
final exam unless there is a proven
medical or other emergency with a practical prior request (email or phone
call) and authorized written proof. We do allow absences for
university-approved events.
5. All tests are closed book and one-page (8.5x11)
of formulae for each quiz and three pages for the final may be brought to the
tests. We will decide this at our first class.
Announcements
1. I would be teaching a summer session
of AMS361 in China. Please tell your friends who might be interested in it
to view the web and even consider register for it.
2. Graded papers will be distributed in class.
Unclaimed work will be collectible from the outside of my office (A-135 Physics
Tower) anytime.
3. Grades for all HW sets, quizzes, and final will
be posted to BlackBoard. Please check to verify there
are no grading or recording errors. Discuss with Jason for any grading issues.
4. Solutions for HW1 are ready!
5. HW7, …, Quiz1, HW3,
HW2, HW1 are ready!
6. Welcome the 205 students who have registered
for AMS361 for Spring 2012 semester. I believe it’s a record.
7. For Chapter 4, I added five pages at the end of
our book (D&L). Please download Section 4.5 here. Same password.
8. I
appreciate the generous comments from the 2011 autumn class and many classes
before. One student (2011 autumn class) said, “Professor
Deng explains the topics very well and gives a ton of great examples. He keeps
his lectures very interesting and is a wonderful teacher. Definitely a valuable
person to this university”.
9. There is NO recitation and NO HW assignment
during the first week.
10.
Let me
phrase the issue related to textbook: (a) Between the two books (Edwards/Penney
& Deng/Lou), one is sufficient and necessary; (b) E/P covers more than D/L
and is a more professional production; (c) D/L covers most of lectures for the
semester; (d) People without financial constraints should consider E/P latest
edition; (e) People with financial constraints should consider
borrowing/buying/renting a copy of D/L 2011(B) Edition.
11.
During
our first class on 1/23/2012, we will vote to decide the grading and other
policies.
12.
Please
feel free to attend any one or more recitations that fit your taste and
schedule. You may rotate recitation sessions as much as you wish, regardless of
your registered session.
13.
I’ll
assign a new password for the fall 2011 class for sensitive portions of our
class web (e.g., grades, homework assignment and solutions, etc).
The password will be given to registered students at our first class or earlier
with special request (with proof of registration). No one is allowed to share
this password with anyone in or out of this class. Responsible and legitimate
uses are required.
14.
Check
this website regularly for important announcements. Many aspects of this course
will be similar to the last semesters’ so it’s smart to view what’s done
before.
15.
HW will be collected by me on Wednesdays during the first 15 minutes of
my lecture. Anything later than that will not be accepted. You may hand it to
me in person prior to the due date for good reasons. Slipping under my office
door or putting in my mailbox is not allowed for any reasons.
