                 by Churchill and Brown

INSTRUCTOR.......CHAD SCOTT
OFFICE...........334 Sundquist

  analytic functions, contour integration, series, residue theory and 
  applications.

EVALUATION

  Weekly Assignments (25%)
    Problems from the course text and given in class will be regularly 
    assigned, collected, graded and returned.  For final grade purposes, 
    the lowest of these scores will be dropped.
  Midterm Exams (Two of them, each worth 25%) 
    One exam will be given about 6 weeks into the course and another will 
    be given about 3 weeks before the end of the course.  The first exam 
    covers course content since the beginning of the semester.  The second 
    exam covers course content since the first exam.
  Final Exam (25%) -- date/time in current class schedule
    This exam is COMPREHENSIVE.  So, any course content from the entire 
    semester is fair game.   
  Grades
    A: 93 -     A-: 90 - 92, B+: 87 - 89, B: 83 - 86, B-: 80 - 82
    C+:77 - 79, C : 73 - 76, C-: 70 - 72, D+:67 - 69, D : 63 - 66
    D-:60 - 62, F :    - 59

LATE POLICY

    Only under TRULY EXTRAORDINARY circumstances will late work be 
    accepted or makeup exams be given!!  Proof WILL be demanded.  

    A couple of things that are NOT truly extraordinary:
    (1) Overlooking/forgetting a date.
    (2) Not advising me immediately upon discovering a problem (i.e. 
        If you know there will be a problem and I don't hear about 
        it immediately so that I can advise you, then there is NO CHANCE 
        of any accommodation)

    All assignment due dates and exam dates will be announced in class 
    at least 4 days in advance (usually a week).  It is your responsibility 
    to make note of these dates and comply.
