Homework Assignments are assigned on Blackboard at least a week in advance of the due date, and are due by 12pm on the due date. You may submit your assignment electronically on Blackboard or in person as a hard copy at the lecture. An assignment turned in by someone else or a late assignment will not be accepted. Students with documented medical reasons may be excused. The homework solutions will be posted on Blackboard on the due date or shortly after. Graded assignments will be returned in class the following week. Collaboration with other students is encouraged: you may discuss with your classmates possible approaches to solving the problems in the assignment, but each student should write her/his solution independently. Computer use (Excel) will be necessary for certain assignments. Grading Assignments, midterms and nal exams are graded numerically. The course grade will be determined as follows: Homework and class participation Midterm I Midterm II Final Exam 15% 25% 25% 35%

The assignments and class participation grade is evaluated based on class attendance, class participation and the average of all assignment grades except the lowest one. Classroom policies and special note Attendance: Attendance is extremely important. Please arrive on time for class. If you do arrive late, take a seat quietly. If you are unable to attend a class, or you need to arrive late or leave early, I prefer that you notify me in advance. Cell phones: Please turn them o or to vibrate before during the lectures. If your cell phone rings in class, you may be asked to leave the classroom. Communication: Email is the best method of contact for communicating with me. Please ensure to include IE 466 on the subject line of all your emails to me.
