EXAMS AND HOMEWORK: All examinations are closed book, closed notes. There are 3 midterms and no final. The midterms will be written in blue books which you will have to bring to the test. Homework will be assigned every week, to be turned in at the end of class the next week. An assignment is late if it turned after class on the day when it was due, but before the beginning of the next lecture. In that period, there is a 20% reduction of the grade; after that period, no credit is given. Assistance on homework may be sought from the instructor and the GSIs. Discussion of the class material independent of homework is encouraged, but don't even think of copying, slightly changing, working on writing up, your homework with someone else. Suspected cases of this go straight to the Engineering Honors Council.
GRADING: Midterms 25% each (total 75%), homework 25%.
DISCUSSION SECTION The discussion section is required, as this is a four-unit course. It is a chance to ask questions and to get familiar with how to do HW problems and proofs.
CLASS EMAIL LIST: Everybody should register for mailing list.  This is important because this is the only means to announce corrections (if any) to the HW and to give you 'helpful hints'  on the difficult problems.
To subscribe, send an email to eecs203-1-request@eecs.umich.edu and type "subscribe" in the subject line.
