We are using the course management system, CMS. Please login to http://cms.csuglab.cornell.edu/ and check whether you are registered.

You can check your grades in CMS.
There
will be 9 homeworks,
2 in-class prelims and a final exam.
The homeworks can be found in CMS. Graded homework assignments
can be picked up in Upson 360 on weekdays during 12pm – 4pm.
Important
dates
Homeworks need to be handed in before the
beginning of class.
Late
days are granted only under very special circumstances, but to compute the
final HW grade, we drop the HW with the lowest score.
To
request a regrade, download and print the regrade
request form and follow the instructions on it.
Weights:
homeworks 30%, mid-terms 2*15% and final 40%.
You are free to collaborate with other students on the homework, but you must turn in your own individually written solution and you must specify the names of your collaborators. It is a violation of this policy to submit a problem solution that you are unable to explain orally to a member of the course staff. It is a violation of the Academic Integrity Code to copy any one else’s solution.
Each
module corresponds to 4-5 lectures (i.e., 1.5 week).
