Assigned homework will be due each week.
Late homework will be
penalized. The homework you hand in is
to be your own work.
-
There are several computer projects due
along with the homework.
It should be treated like homework and
handed in weekly.
-
The class will go to the board to do problems as
often as possible
to practice on problems to be handed out in class.
This will be graded. You are expected to work with others.
-
There will be a semester project.
-
We will also have quizzes as often as possible,
ideally every two or three weeks. The tests will be as in
the syllabus.
-
Grading formulas:
final grade = (.3)F + (.3)T + (.2)P + (.1)H + (.1)B
and
period grade = {(.3)T+(.2)P+(.1)H+(.1)B}/(.7).
One purpose of this class is to help you to be able to think
more carefully, logically and clearly. Another purpose is to
provide you with some specfic mathematical
techniques necessary to understand the some of the
problems in Oceanography.
What you get out of this class depends on what you put in.
