Grading Information

The grades in class will be based on four in-class exams (100 points each), the final (200 points), class project (100 points) and homework (100 points), for a total of 800 points. The grade scale will generally be: 720-800 points (90-100%), A; 640-719 points (80-89%), B; 560-639 points (70-79%), C; 480-559 points (60-69%), D; and below 480 (below 60%), F.

NOTE: Homework is assigned for every section and collected the following class. 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 100 points. See Syllabus for further information.
