GRADING POLICY:
The final grade will be computed from the
sum of online homework grade (10%) and exam grade (90%).
EXAMS: There will be two midterm exams (counting each 30 pts
of the grade) in class on
Friday 2/3 and Friday 2/24 ,
and a
(cumulative)
Final on Tuesday, March 20 at 14:00 in WNGR 151, counting
twice as a midterm (that is, 60 pts). The exam grade will be computed
as the sum of three best out of these four scores. (No make up exams
will be given but you can make up for one midterm on the final).
