Asynchronous material will be delivered online as short, detailed video snippets. You can watch these videos at your convenience. Once lecture or recitation material is posted, it will remain available online throughout the semester. Be sure to take thorough notes and review the videos regularly to prepare for homework assignments and quizzes.

There will be one online quiz assignment each week, which must be submitted electronically through the web. These quizzes will be scheduled at specific times, most likely on Friday nights at 7:00 PM, with a duration of 30 to 40 minutes. After the due time, the answer key will be released, and submissions will no longer be accepted. You will have up to four (4) submission attempts for each quiz. The grading for each attempt is as follows:

• Correct answers on the first attempt will earn 100% credit.
• Correct answers on the second attempt will earn 75% credit.
• Correct answers on the third attempt will earn 50% credit.
• Correct answers on the fourth attempt will earn 25% credit.

There will be one online homework assignment each week, which must be submitted electronically through the web. Homework assignments will be made available for download 5–6 days before the due date, typically by Monday before 11:55 PM. After the due time, the answer key will be released, and submissions will no longer be accepted. Late submissions will not be accepted under any circumstances. You can log in and print your homework as many times as needed; however, you are limited to four (4) submission attempts per assignment. The grading for each attempt is as follows:

• Correct answers on the first attempt will earn 100% credit.
• Correct answers on the second attempt will earn 75% credit.
• Correct answers on the third attempt will earn 50% credit.
• Correct answers on the fourth attempt will earn 25% credit.

There will be two (2) non-cumulative midterm exams. Each exam will consist of 20 multiple-choice questions based on the material covered in the specified chapters. There is no penalty for incorrect answers, so it is important to answer every question, even if you need to make an educated guess. An exam formula sheet will be provided during each exam. This formula sheet will also be made available online for reference throughout the course. If you need assistance preparing for the exams, please consult your TA, the course administrator, or the lecturer. Only scientific calculators may be used during the exams.

(READ CAREFULLY) Make-up quizzes are scheduled on Sunday nights at 9:00pm. This is to help those who could not manage to make themselves available to take the quiz on Friday for whatever reason. The process is done automatically. There is no need to ask for pemission. Important things to note: 1-The students who try to access the quiz on Friday will be DENIED a make-up on Sunday. 2-The regular quiz and the make-up are of the same order of difficulty. Please take the one that fits your schedule best. 3-Under no circumstances a delayed online quiz will be accepted after the Due-Time.

While you are encouraged to form collaborative learning and study groups with fellow students in this class, you are always expected to hand in your own work in this course. Responses to online assignments and exam questions must be exclusively your own work. In addition, sharing private course material (such as lecture slides, videos, assignments, etc.) on social media websites such as Facebook, etc. is considered a violation of academic integrity, as defined by the Rutgers Office of Student Conduct. Any violations of these rules will be personally dealt with by the Professor and may lead to University disciplinary action. It is in the best interest of the students and the morale of the class to follow these rules and not to tolerate any departure from them by others. Any instances of academic dishonesty that takes place in this course must be reported to the Professor immediately.
