Ground Rules

Homeworks and Quizes will count 25% towards final grade

No collaboration is allowed on the homeworks exept if indicated otherwise

Everybody is required to do the Quizes and Homeworks and be present at the TPs

Final Exam will count 75% towards final grade. Final exam will be closed books.

For the final Exam you will be allowed one page A4 with handwritten notes on both sides.
