Grading:
|
Your final raw (percentage) score will be decided upon the quizes, homeworks, two midterms exams, and the final exam. The break-up of the final grade is as follows:
Quizes (Q)- 5%
Homework (HW)- 10%
Exam 1 (E1)- 25%
Exam 2 (E2)- 25%
Final (F)- 35%
Thus, your final percantage grade can be computed by the formula (0.05Q+0.1HW+0.25E1+0.25E2+0.35F).
You are encouraged to discuss your progress in the course with the instructor at any time during the quarter.
