Here’s a quick, bulleted list of information found on the syllabus that you might want to search intermittently. I’ve omitted things people should know by now, like where/when the class is and the simultaneous enrollment policy.

Important dates/times

• March 7: 75-minute, in-class midterm
• TBD: in-person, 3 hour final exam (waiting for registrar date)
• Homework due 5 PM Friday on Gradescope (15 minute grace period)
• Monday extensions are until 5 PM Monday (15 minute grace period)

Homework

• 1 drop: lowest score
• 4 Monday extensions
  • If you don’t submit a homework, that will be dropped but will not affect your count of Monday extensions
  • We will not grant extra extensions
• Drops and extensions are auto-calculated
• For full credit, include:
  • Properly labeled pages in Gradescope
  • Code used to solve problems
  • Names of collaborators
  • Citations for relevant results/enough work
  • Text! Not diagrams!
• Use Ed to ask questions
  • But please search for similar ones before asking

Grading

• Let $h, m, f$ be the homework average, midterm score, and final exam score, all out of 100. Then, the overall course score is the maximum of the two possible calculations of $s$:
  • $s = 0.45 h + 0.2 m + 0.35f$
  • $s = 0.45h + 0.1m + 0.45f$
  • Your homework contribution is constant; this scheme allows people leeway if they improve a lot between midterm and final
