Grading Please we have announce in Cut clear way for all students from the beginning:
Midterm I 30% (up to the end of chapter 4) Midterm II 30% (Chapters 5 and 6)

Homework and exam policy
Collaboration on homework assignments is encouraged. You may consult outside reference materials, other students, the instructor, or anyone else. There is one restriction: you must write, type, or otherwise record your answers yourself, alone, so that your homework reflects your understanding. No late homework or make-up exams without prior approval; penalties may apply.
Preliminary Course Outline
We will cover the book by Walpole, Chapters 1–10 except chapter 7.
