16 December 27 Final examination

1. Grading
Grades are determined from homework, paper, and two tests:
Midterm examination: 30% of final grade
Final examination: 40% of final grade
Paperwork 20% of final grade
Homework (2 assignments): 10% of final grade

All exam times are fixed and the only excuses accepted for non-attendance at an exam
are a serious certified illness or a family bereavement. In such cases, a make-up exam of
equal or greater difficulty must be taken. Examinations are to be the sole work of the
student concerned and students are cautioned not to engage in plagiarism, or any form
of cheating. Anything that is not the students own work should have a reference,
following standard scientific conventions. In such rare cases as it is necessary to include
text from an article or book, this should be clearly placed in quotation marks. The
instructor will follow standard university disciplinary procedures, if students engage in
any form of cheating or plagiarism in examinations.

3. Communication Methods
Only a relatively small number of handouts will be provided and students will be
expected to make their own lecture notes. Handouts will be provided via the web
(www.nofrijon.org or www.nofrijon.net) as Adobe Acrobat (PDF) files. Questions and
comments in class are strongly encouraged! I both welcome and value feedback from
students regarding this course. From time to time, I may communicate with the class via
e-mail. Hence, you need to have an email account and are expected to check your e-mail
at least once a week, so as not to miss class changes and other important
announcements.

4. Students with Special Needs

Students needing special accommodation are encouraged to see me after class or in my
office to discuss their situation confidentially. Alternatively, I can be contacted by
telephone. Students needing special accommodation should bring their memorandum
from the department to me as soon as possible; this can be discussed during an
appointment with me. Exam accommodation should be arranged at least one week in
advance. If at any time during the semester, it is felt that the accommodation that has
been put in place is inadequate then please consult me and/or the professional staff in
the department office. Students needing special accommodation who do not have a
memorandum from the department office are recommended to make an appointment
to see staff at the department office.
