 Grading: The course % is determined by:

   Midterm 1      M1           100 
   Midterm 2      M2           100
   Final          F            100
  Quizzes        Q           100
  _______________________________
                               400

         % = (M1+M2+F+HW)/4

The final is not comprehensive.
Six quizzes each worth 20 points
will be given. Your best 5 quiz
scores determine Q above.

Exam and quizz dates are indicated
on the schedule below. Their content
will be announced in class.

All exams and quizzes are closed
book and no electronic devices
are permitted. All exams including
the Final will be given in class:
Wil 1-144
