Grading Composition:

Homework Problems* = 60%

Book Section Reviews* = 40%

Final Exam (will be the last HW set)

 

*about one per chapter (e.g. about 7 each for the semester); 5% off for each day late; must work independently

 

Letter grades will be based on the following (class participation for borderline cases):

96% - 100% > A+

93% - 95% > A

90% - 92% > A-

86% - 89% > B+

83% - 85% > B

80% - 82% > B-

 

Homework

Generally given out about every two weeks at end of a Chapter. Due within 1 week (though I may grant extension if there was an error or unclear problem)

 

HW1 Due 2/13    HW1Solution

 

HW2 Due 3/5    HW2Solution

 

HW3 Due 4/14    HW3Solution

 

HW4 Due 5/9   

 

 

 

Book Review Sections:

Book section review assignments will consist of reviewing about 8-12 pages of text per week (plus associated figures, tables and references), which we cover in class. If you are expected to review a particular presentation, you may want to print out the material to ask questions and take notes as you go. I will cleaned up and updated as much as possible the section to be covered by 4PM on the day of the previous class, e.g. material to be presented on Wednesday 11 AM should be ready for download by Monday 4PM.

 

Reviews are due within one week of class presentation.

 

Your editing will be graded based on:

1) Technical correctness 50%

check equations, derivations, figures, and references for accuracy and suggest additions or deletions
2) Discussion 50%

note any stylistic, structural or grammatical changes in text or figures to improve readability of the overall material

 

I welcome and expect constructive criticism.

You are the perfect editors since you happen to be the target audience

If you do not understand some material, assume it is the fault of the text!

 

For an editing assignment, I suggest the following:

TEXT: Go to soft copy of txt file. Cut out section covered in class and paste into new document. For suggested changes: turn on track changes (under tools) and make changes accordingly. For comments: use insert comment. Save an e-mail the file.

FIGUES: Print out any those Figures that you have suggested changes or comments from the PDF Chapter File. Mark-up by hand and turn in.

 

 

Some generalized critical comments by External reviewers in no particular order (your comments should be specific as possible):

 

1)      Add more examples for computations

2)      Avoid too many references (need more references)

3)      Give more detailed derivation, especially for fundamental (section is too long)

4)      Too many parentheses

5)      More clarification in figure captions

6)      Avoid acronyms

7)      Simplify/clarify Nomenclature

8)      Pointers back to Chapter 1 applications

9)      Double check references, equation numbers, spelling, grammar

10)  Overly long sentences

11)  Point out strength and weakness of different approaches

12)  Show example results with figures

13)  Too much (not enough) introductory material
