Objectives
Work for this course consists of weekly homework
assignments, three or four
Matlab projects, two in-class exams, and a final exam. Dates and
coverage for the exams are listed in the course outline on the next
page.
Homework, Matlab projects, and exams are combined with
the following approximate weighting to give your final grade:
| Homework: | 10% (lowest score will be dropped) |
| Matlab Projects: | 20% |
| Exam I : | 20% |
| Exam II : | 20% |
| Final Exam: | 30% |
Homework and Matlab Projects are due at the beginning of class on the day indicated by the handout. Solutions will be handed out at the end of class. No late assignments will be accepted.
A student requesting a grade change for any assignment must provide the instructor with the following within 2 class periods after the work is returned: the assignment and a paragraph describing why you feel you should receive additional points for the work. Note that in some cases, it is possible that what you wrote for the assignment indicated a better understanding of the problem than you actually possess. If the paragraph you submit indicates that you don't understand the problem as well as the grader thought you did, then your score may be reduced.
Honor Code
All students are expected to abide by the George Mason University
Honor Code. Moderate sharing of ideas and comparison of answers
on homework is
acceptable, but copied work is not acceptable. All exams will be
closed book and closed notes unless specifically stated otherwise by
the instructor. All work must be your own. Any reasonable suspicion
of an honor code violation will be reported.
