At the end of the semester, the lowest three homework/quiz grades will be dropped.
Midterm Exams: There will be two in-class midterm exams throughout the semester.
The tentative dates for these exams are:
Exam 1: Wednesday, September 30th
Exam 2: Wednesday, November 4th.
Students must work on exams individually and show their work for each problem in
order to receive credit. All exams are closed book and closed notes. No make-up
exams will be given. If you expect to miss one of the midterms, then you must notify
me at least 2 weeks in advance, so that it can be rescheduled. Under exceptional
circumstances, with a written excuse, a missed midterm grade may be replaced with the
remaining exam grades.
Final Exam: The final exam is cumulative. It will be given on Wednesday,
December 9th from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. You must take the final exam at the
scheduled time which is set by the University. No student may take the final exam early
or be allowed to skip it. The location will be announced at a later date.
Grading: Grades will be determined on the following 10 point scale:
90-100 A, 80-89 B, 70-79 C, 60-69 D, and 0 - 59 F
Pluses and minuses will be given at instructor's discretion.
Your grade will be calculated with the following breakdown:
Homework/Quiz Average: 15%
Midterm 1 : 25%
Midterm 2: 25%
Final Exam: 35%
Note that the last day to drop a class with a mark of W is November 13 th.
