Important note on final: You must pass the final to pass the course. In other words, if you receive below a 50% (after curve) on the final exam, you automatically fail the course, regardless of your performance on homeworks and the midterms.
Important note on homeworks: Homeworks will be distributed electronically. A1 and A2 will be collected only in tutorial or by appointment with the TA for the homework in question. They will also be returned in tutorial.
Lateness Policy: No late homeworks will be accepted without a signed medical certificate. With a signed medical certificate, a late outstanding assignment may be ``cancelled'' at the instructor's discretion, in which case the marks for that piece of work will be distributed over the other marked work for the course in weighted proportion to the other work's contribution to the course grade. A missed midterm will be cancelled, but again only with a signed medical certificate.
Silent policy: The TA is not obliged to answer questions posed less than 24 hours before any assignment is due, and is not obliged to answer questions already answered on the newsgroup at any time. Students are encouraged to use the bulletin board for the course to pose their questions.
Remarking: Homeworks or exams written in pencil or erasable ink will not be remarked. A request for remarking should be directed to the tutor who marked the assignment. The tutor is only required to remark once - if you still believe your solution is correct, you may appeal to the instructor.
Policy on collaboration: Collaboration on homeworks and copying from others' homeworks are strictly prohibited - you are permitted to speak only with your tutors and the instructor about the homework. If challenged by either a tutor or the instructor, you must be able to reproduce and explain any solution you submit in an oral exam. Failure to observe this policy is an academic offense, carrying a penalty ranging from a zero on the homework to suspension from the university.
To view these handouts you will need access to a PDF viewer. If your machine does not have the required software, you can allegedly download it for free.
