There are no make-up hour-exams, no make-up quizzes and no
make-up final exam!
There will be four one hour-exams, three quizzes 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 will cover. 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 to compute your final grade. The final
exam is cumulative, and it is worth 170 points. Homework is assigned weekly
(under the link to Assignments above), but it will not be collected. The quizzes
will be out of homework problems, therefore you are strongly encouraged to do
all the assigned homework. Each quiz is worth 10 points. The maximum score you
can achieve in the class is 500 points.
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.
