| Office hour: | TBA |

| Midterm: | 25% |
| Final examination: | 60% |
NOTE: A passing score for Final+Midterm is a requirement for obtaining a passing grade for the course.
Don't cheat. Students caught cheating on an assignment, Midterm or on the Final Examination will receive no credit and will be reported to the chair of the department, who may take appropriate action.
Students are encouraged to work together on assignment problems. However, you are not simply to copy the solutions of a fellow student. You should understand what you hand in and you should be prepared and able to explain your solution. I will occasionally ask students to explain their assignment solutions to me.
As a guideline, prepare the solution you hand in on your own, without looking at other people's work.
SFU's standard Academic Honesty policies apply: http://www.sfu.ca/content/sfu/policies/gazette/student.html. You are required to be familiar with them.
In the event of university closure for one day during an exam period, our department will give postponed examinations to all the students in the class on the day following the last day of the regular examination period. For classes with 20 students or fewer, every effort will be made to reschedule the exam as soon after the original date as possible. Students should be aware of this policy when making travel and other plans
Students requesting religious accommodation must tell the instructor by the end of the first week of term, which means by January 6.
You must contact your instructor as soon as possible in case of illness or personal issues that affect any course requirements. Here is a link to a web page to help you understand your responsibilities with regards to missed academic requirements due to illness. It is referred to as the Sick Note page. http://students.sfu.ca/health/healthclinics/sicknotes.html
