Grading Policy and Exam Dates

There will be two midterm exams of 80 minutes each, held in class. You do not have to hand in homework, but there will be a quiz from the previous week's homework at the beginning of each recitation. The first quiz will be Friday, February 1 and Monday, February 4, respectively. Each midterm exam will also be based on the homework so if you have done the homework you should do well on the quizzes and on the midterm exams. No calculators will be allowed during the quizzes, on the midterm exams, nor on the final exam. You may bring only one page of note (8.5 x 11) both sides. No books or notebooks allowed during the quizzes, the midterm exams, nor the final exam.

Rules regarding missed exams. Two lowest quiz scores will be dropped. There will be a make up exam only for the final exam. For the two midterm exams there will be no make up exams. Only if you have a valid reason for missing a midterm exam, such as a note from a physician, you will receive the adjusted grade for the missed midterm exam. The adjusted grade for the missed midterm exam will be computed from the score you get for that portion on the final exam.

You will get your midterm exams back in recitation. If you think your midterm exam has not been graded correctly you should take it to your recitation leader during or right after recitation. DO NOT WRITE ON YOUR EXAM. On a separate sheet paper indicate why you think your exam was incorrectly graded. Once you have had the midterm exam in your posession outside of class or if you have written on your midterm exam you no longer can have your midterm exam regraded. For example, if a friend picks up your midterm exam for you, you forfeit the right to have your midterm exam regraded. If you are ill and can not go to recitation see you TA during office hours or at the following recitation.

Your course grade will be computed as follows:

20% quizzes
40% midterm exams
40% final exam

A schedule of midterm exams follows. These exams will be given in class. For material covered on midterm exams click on Homework Assignments.

No books or notebooks allowed during the final exam. The final exam will cover all the material covered in the course.
