Grading I
The final grade will be determined according to the
following weighted sum:

Homework: 20%

First Midterm Exam: 25%

Second Midterm Exam: 25%

Final Exam: 30%

The final exam encompasses all topics covered in the


course, the midterm exams only new topics.

Grading II
Final grades A, B, C, D, and F are based on the
straight-percentage scale:

90% or above is A

80% to 89.99% is B

etc.

your graded midterm exam, ask your TA first.

We will have a meeting in which you will get back your


final exam (exact time and location TBA).

Homework
New homework will be given every two weeks (on
Thursday).

You have two weeks to complete the homework.

You have to turn in your homework to your TA at the


beginning of your lab section.

No late homework!!!
If you cannot come to your lab section to turn in your
homework, make prior arrangements with your TA.

Your TA will return the graded homework to you in your


lab section. If you have any questions concerning your
graded homework, ask your TA first.

Homework / Golden Rule
You are allowed to work on the homework problems in
study groups. However, you are required to turn in the
solutions on your own, and you must never copy the
solutions of other students.

Please read and understand student rights and


responsibilities including conduct rules clearly stated in
Golden Rule Student Handbook available.
