Grading
Grades in the course will be based on:
1. homework sets (assigned roughly bi-weekly during the semester). 30%
2. Two Midterm exams 40%
3. Final Exam 30%
Ground rules for the homework sets are as follows. You are encouraged to discuss the homework problems with other students in the class, and even to work on the problems together, until you get to the point that you understand how to solve the problem. Each student is required to write up and to submit his/her own homework set. You are not permitted to copy another student's homework, even if you worked on the problems together.
Students in APPM 5360 will be assigned extra HW problems, and be required to give one of the lectures for the class.
