Grading
Information
The grades in class will be based on four in-class exams
(100 points each), the final (150 points), a group project (100 points), and
homework (100 points), for a total of 750 points. The grade scale will
generally be: 675-750 points (90-100%), A; 600-674 points (80-89%), B; 525-599
points (70-79%), C; 450-524 points (60-69%), D; and below 450 (below 60%), F.
NOTE: Homework is due Mondays. Late homework is not accepted and there are
NO MAKE-UPS on homework. Homework
problems with an answer but no work shown will not be graded. I encourage working together, however each
student must submit his own write-up for all problems. Selected problems will
be graded for a total of 10 points per homework set, with a maximum of 100
points counted in the total.
