Assessment:
There will be one midterm exam, in class on march 10th,
and a final exam in the exam period. There will be 5 or 6 homework assignments.
It will be possible to obtain up to 20 marks on the assignments and up to 20
marks on the midterm exam. The final will be worth the remainder. Thus if a student
obtains 13 points on the assignment and 17 on the midterm then he has 30/30
for term work and his final is marked out of 70.
Assignments are to be handed in using the drop box in the Trottier building.
Late assignments will not be accepted or marked.
