Grading:

Grades will be based on the percentages below. Curve will be applied if needed. The grading scale without a curve is the standard 90-80-70-60, those grades you are guaranteed (i.e., 90 and above guarantees an A), but the curve may improve your grade.

Exam 1: Wednesday, April 27th, 20% of your grade.

Exam 2: Wednesday, May 25th, 20% of your grade. (Only over material since exam 1)

Final Exam: Wednesday, June 8, 11:30am - 2:29pm, 40% (or 60%, see below) of your grade. (Comprehensive)

Homework: Assigned weekly (some weeks may be skipped). Worth 20%, possibly spot checked (spot checked means: some spot(s) of each homework checked, and all will be collected). Lowest 2 homework grades dropped.

How the grade is computed: Your grade will be the maximum of
20% (Exam 1 score) + 20% (Exam 2 score) + 40% (Final exam score) + 20% (Homework score)
or
20% (Exam 1 score) + 60% (Final exam score) + 20% (Homework score)
or
20% (Exam 2 score) + 60% (Final exam score) + 20% (Homework score)

Test Policies: No books, calculators or computers allowed on the exams or the final. One page of handwritten notes allowed on the exam. No makeup exams; see above.

Wolfram Alpha. Google for math. It solves integrals and equations, plots functions, etc... Good for checking your work.

Interesting lecture, the development of biofuels from lignocelluosic biomass ... Lecture 4 in the same lecture series
