WARNING!
You are expected to be familiar with the UC Davis Code of Academic Conduct (http://sja.ucdavis.edu/files/cac.pdf).
Any suspected violation will be reported to the office of  Student Support and Judicial Affairs. If you are found by SSJA to have cheated on an exam, you will receive an "F" in the entire course.


This is a conceptually demanding class.
To earn a passing grade you need to work hard:
at least 9 hours of home study per week
(the Carnegie Rule does apply to this class). If you are not prepared to devote a lot of time and effort to this class you are strongly advised not to enroll in it.
You will NOT be graded "on the curve" (see below).
 WARNING!
  • I do not grade "on the curve".  I believe that your grade should reflect entirely what you have learned. Grades will be determined according to the scale below. Thus, in principle, everybody in the calss could end up with an A.

    Note: your name has been replaced with an identifier calculated as follows:
    the sum of the two middle digits in your ID followed by the sum of the last four digits of your ID
    followed by the last digit of your ID followed possibly by the last letter of your last name followed possibly by the first letter of your first name

    EXAMPLES:

    ID Last Name First Name Identifier
    007-12-3456 Bond James 1+2 = 3 followed by 3+4+5+6 = 18 followed by 6. Thus the identifier is either
       3-18-6   or  3-18-6-d   or   3-18-6-dj
    985-63-1095 Potter Harry The identifier is either 9-15-5  or 9-15-5-r  or  9-15-5-rh
