Grading Policy
Grading will be done on a STRAIGHT SCALE. You may compute your current numerical grade
in the class at any time by dividing your total accumulated points by the possible points and
multiplying by four. (Example: if you get a 24 on the first exam, that is equivalent to a grade of
4*(24/32) = 3.0.)
Exam Policy
There will be NO make-up exams given in EE 305. If you must miss an exam, you must make
appropriate arrangements before the exam period. If arrangements have not been made, you will
receive a 0 on the exam.

Homework Policy
Homework is due at the beginning of class. No late homework will be accepted unless prior
arrangements have been made. There will be 8 homework assignments. Please feel free to ask
homework questions via e-mail. I try to read my mail at least twice a day. Homework is graded on
the following scale:
95-100
