NOTE1: All marked in-class works and assignments are now ready. You can
pick your in-class works and assignments from the pigeon hole of MATH013, which
is located in the second floor of Jeffery Hall, just in front of MATH help
centre (JEFFERY 201).
NOTE2: If you are busy and you do not want to
work on the project (due is April 4th), I will count your midterm #2 as 35% of
your final grade, instead of the original evaluation scheme (30% for the
midterm #2 and 5% for the project). If you want to accept this offer, you have
to make a paper form (emails will
not be accepted) stating as "I will not work on the
project so please count my midterm #2 as 35% of my final grade." together
with your signature. This paper form should be handed in directly to me before the
midterm #2 starts. NO
EXCEPTION! If
you do not hand in the paper form and you do not hand in your project, either, then the score of your
project is 0 and I will still count midterm#2 as 30% of your final grade. For
those who prefer to work on the project, first I will
calculate your final grade by using the original evaluation
scheme (30% for the midterm#2 and 5% for the project). Next I
will calculate your final grade by considering your midterm#2 as
35% of your grade. Among those two, I will use the better one for your final
grade. So there will no disadvantages for handing in your project.
