I'll provide you with constants.
Midterm Exam: Friday, May 3. Chapters: 12,15, 25, 26. Your midterm is in "Multiple Choice Problems with Answers". You must show detail work below each problem on how you arrived at your answer. If your answer is marked wrong on the scatron you will receive zero points for that problem. However, if the problem has been marked with PCP, "Partial Credit Problems", you may discuss with me receiving partial credit. Partial credits will only be given for correct methods and concepts with calculator related wrong answers. If you feel you have made a numerical error on PCP, please set up a time with me so that we can go over them for minimal partial credits. I'll talk further about partial credits during my lectures prior to your exam time. Important: Your multiple choice answers to your exam must be clearly marked on "Scantron No 8000" and on your test. Please do not bend your scantron.

Homework and Quizzes : Homework will be assigned each week but will not be collected or graded. You are strongly encouraged to complete all homework assignments prior to checking the solutions posted on our course website.

Graded quizzes will be handed back to you either during TA's office hours or during your discussion section on Fri, 9-10. Ask TA's for any prior graded quizzes. Quizzes will be kept by TA's for two weeks and then discarded.

missed quizzes will be given a score of zero.
