Exams: Three Exams will be given during the semester.
There will also be a Final Exam.
Homework: As assigned below.
Grading: Your grade will be based on three exams to be given during the semester
and a comprehensive final exam.
The final exam will be optional for any student who achieves an average of
80% or more based on the three semester exams. If you do not take the final
exam your final grade will be entirely based on your test average.
If you take all three semester exams and the final exam your grade will be
based on the greater of the following:
(a) the weighted average of the test scores and the final exam score, with
each test counting 20% and the final exam 40%.
(b) the weighted average of the highest two test scores and the final exam
with each test counting 20% and the final exam 60%.
If you miss any one of the three semester exams your final exam will count
as 60% of your grade and the remaining two exams 20% each. No make up
test will be given.
If you miss a second semester exam you may be allowed to make it up by
taking a make-up test at a designated time near the end of the semester.
You must furnish satisfactory documentation as to why you failed to take
the second missed exam. A second missed exam that is not made up will
be counted as a zero in calculating your final average. +/- grades will be
assigned.
