Policies and Procedures

A web page has been constructed for this course. All course materials (syllabus,
problem sets, exam solutions and grades, etc.) will be made available at

http://www.metu.edu.tr/~yuludag/che352/

You need to visit the site on a regular basis to get recent homework assignment
and other relevant announcements.

Attendance is mandatory. Below 80 % attendance will be considered as NA and


waiving the final exam right regardless of other grades.

Do not be late to the lectures.

Time to time a problem set will be posted at the web page. You dont need to
hand in their solutions. But you are strongly urged to solve the sets and get help
from the instructor whenever you feel necessary as they will be instrumental in
following and succeeding the course. Furthermore selected problem(s) from the
sets will be asked in quizzes.

Exams are scheduled as follows:

Midterm Exam # 1 March 24, 2014, Monday


Midterm Exam # 2 May 5, 2014, Monday
Final Exam May 29, 2014, Thursday

All tests will be open-book. It is your responsibility to understand the exam


questions. If you have difficulty in English, you may use a dictionary during the
exams.

If you miss an exam with a certified medical excuse, you may take a makeup
exam at a designated time near the end of the semester. Bear in mind that it will
be CHALLENGING!

A weighted average grade will be calculated as follows:

Midterm exams 50 % (25 % each)


Quiz 7%
Term Project 8%
Final exam 35 %

To get an AA in this course, you must attempt and do satisfactory work on all
homework problems and term project in addition to getting the necessary
weighted average grade on tests.
