There will be four one hour-exams and a final exam. The link to Exams at
the top of the page contains all the information about the dates and the
material that each exam covers. Each hour-exam is worth 100 points. The lowest
hour-exam score will be dropped, and only the best three scores of the
hour-exams will be used in order to compute your final grade. The final exam is
cumulative, and it is worth 200 points. The maximum score you can achieve in
the class is 500 points. The homework is assigned weekly (under the link
to Assignments above), but it will not be collected. However, you are strongly
encouraged to attempt to do all the assigned problems, as they provide very
good practice for the exams.
The final letter grade will be assigned using the following scale:
95-100%=A, 90-95%=A-, 87-90%=B+,
84-87%=B, 80-84%=B-, 77-80%=C+, 74-77%=C, 70-74%=C-, 67-70%=D+, 60-67%=D,
0-60%=F.
