Grading:

Many in-class activities = 20%
9 Homeworks = 20%
Test 1 on Oct. 05 = 30%
Test 2 on Nov. 09 = 30%
Final (optional) on Dec. 14 from 8-11 am = 30%

 

Grade Distribution:

97% -100% = A+ 94% -96% = A 90% -93% = A- 87% -89% = B+ 84% -86% = B 80% -83% = B-
77% -79% = C+ 74% -76% = C 70% -73% = C- 67% -69% = D+ 64% -66% = D 60% -63% = D-
0% -59% = F

 

Policies, Regulations, and Rules:

  • All homework papers are required to be stapled in the upper left-hand corner (failing to do so will result in a zero grade) and turned in before 2:00 pm. Homeworks will not be accepted late.
