Remarks: 1. All examinations will be ‘closed book’. Calculators are allowed, but no formulae sheets.

2. 20% marks will be deducted from late assignments.

3. Date and time for the final exam will be announced in the class. Experience shows that the date(s) for the midterm exams generally changes, so be regular with the class activities/announcements.

4. Assignments will be given in the class. A few students feel that assignments dead lines should be a bit flexible, and other feel not. Both kind of experience will be tried.

5. Any other change in the schedule will be announced in the class.

6. Please make sure that you are registered with this section, as otherwise your final grade may not be submitted.
