Disclosure

To minimize the surprise factors after the university "last day to drop" date, here are a few things that may help you make good class registration decisions.

• My English is not going to improve anytime soon.

  • If you can not understand it the first time, the chance is zero that my English will improve for the rest of the semester.

• I do not publish homework nor exam solutions.

  • Instead, students are encouraged to discuss issues and doubts in canvas discussion groups. Please refer to discussion group posting for your consideration.

• I give ABCDF grades only, no plus or minus.

  • For those of you who needs A+, B+ or C+ to get scholarship or avoid probation, sorry I don't do that. On the other hand, if you add a little effort to become A- or B-, you get a bonus ride.

• I have a peculiar "NFL challenge" rule on exam scores.

  • Exam scores can be challenged. However, I'll re-grade the "entire paper" (not just one particular problem). If TA or I made mistakes, I'll gladly correct it and apologize. If there is no mistake, the student pays a penalty (e.g. lost a timeout).

• Please review student evaluations from previous semesters.

  • It is published at student feedback from previous classes

That's all I can think of for now.
