Testing:

    2 exams + 6 homeworks + 1 final,

Grading:

    mid-term exams -- 100 points/exam
    homeworks -- 10 points/assignment
    final exam -- 200 points

    The exams will be composed of a section of multiple choice questions and a section of short answer questions.

    total points - - 100 + 100 + 60 + 200 = 460

    • The final is cumulative
    • Alternative testing schemes are negotiable. If you miss an exam with a valid excuse, see me to figure out what options you have. See me before the exam, if possible.
    • A Pass is a performance of C- or better
