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. With the exception of the Final, all exams will be given in class. Final Location - TBA.
