COURSE POLICIES Grading Criteria

The overall course grade will be calculated based on two mid-terms and a final exam. The first mid-term will cover the first 1/3 of the course, the second mid-term will cover the second 1/3 of the course, and the final will cover the entire course but will be more heavily weighted toward the final 1/3 of the course material. The overall course grade will be computed as follows: Mid-Term with the Lower Score: 25% Mid-Term with the Higher Score: 35% Final Exam: 40%

Make-Up Exams

Students must take all exams. No make-up exams will be given. Students with anticipated excused absences (such as for religious holy days) must contact the professor well in advance for approval and scheduling. Those who do not show up for an exam without making prior arrangements with the professor will receive a zero for that exam (unless there is a verifiable medical or family emergency with written substantiation).

Class Procedures

Lecture outlines and recommended practice questions will be posted online as the course progresses. Solutions to the questions will not be graded. Nevertheless, working through them is important because they often reflect the type of questions to appear on the exams.
