Course Administration

• Grading. Homework 35%, Mid-term 25%, Final 40%.
• Homework. Usually handed out in class on Thursday, due in class on the following Tuesday. Some credit for late homework, but there will be cut-offs at the time the mid-term exam and the final exam are handed out. After the mid-term is handed out, no late homework credit will be given for homeworks from the first half of the term. Similarly, after the final exam is handed out, no late homework credit will be given for homeworks from the second half of the term. However, extensions may be granted by the instructor (not the TAs) if arranged before the homework is due.
• Homework Solution sets. Homework solution sets will be prepared and posted on this website.
• Collaboration on Homework. Collaboration on homeworks is encouraged. However each individual student must write out their own solutions (for example, Xerox copies of group solutions are not acceptable).
• Mid-term and Final exams. These will be take-home, open notes, closed-book exams. It is therefore valuable to maintain a complete set of notes. Notes include homeworks and homework solution sets. Notes do not include materials or solution sets from previous years. No collaboration is permitted. The mid-term will have a time limit of 1.5 or 2 hours; the final will have a time limit of 3 hours.
• Book. There is no official text book. However, if you wish to purchase a book for reference, I recommend "Fluid Flow" by R.H.Sabersky, A.J.Acosta, E.G.Hauptmann and E.M.Gates, published by Prentice Hall.
