Academic Honesty

All students are expected to comply with the Georgia Tech Honor Code (the honor code can be found at http://www.policylibrary.gatech.edu/student-affairs/code-conduct). Any evidence of cheating or other violations of the Georgia Tech Honor Code will be submitted directly to the Dean of Students. Cheating includes, but is not limited to:

  • Using an unapproved calculator, books, or any form of notes on tests.

  • Copying directly from any source, including friends, classmates, tutors, internet sources (including Wolfram Alpha), or a solutions manual.

  • Allowing another person to copy your work.

  • Taking a test or quiz in someone else's name, or having someone else take a test or quiz in your name.

  • Asking for a regrade of a paper that has been altered from its original form.

Grading:

Grades will be based on the exams and homework. Homework assignments count for 30%;  
  in-class midterms count for 30%; the final exam counts for 40%.

If no curve is applied, your final grade will be assigned as a letter grade according to the following scale:

A 90-100%

B 80-89%

C 70-79%

D 60-69%

F 0-59%


Curves:

When it is needed, curves will be determined by the median of each recitation section after final exam according to the end-of-semester grade distribution. In this course, we will only apply curves on the overall course grades, but not for any individual
