How this course is graded.


The dividing lines (in % out of 100%) for the exam grades will be:
 
 
A+ A A- B+ B B- C+ C C- D+ D D- F
93-100 90-92 86-89 83-85 80-82 76-79 73-75 65-72 60-64 57-59 54-56 47-53 0-46

For the 1-st exam the median score was 75.5  and the mean score was 69.6
For the 2-nd exam the median score was 85 and the mean score was 80
 


There will be three one-hour exams during the semester. At the end of the term the lowest hourly exam grade is dropped. The two remaining grades contribute a maximum of 100 points  each towards your course total (about 17% each).
The final exam contributes a maximum of  200 points to the course total  (about 35%).
The homework counts as at most 100 points of your course total (about 17%).
The quizzes contribute a maximum of 75 points to  your course total (about 13%).
Thus your maximum course total is 100+100+200+100+75=575 points. Your course total will determine your final grade for the course.
A modest number of "extra credit" points may be assigned for active class participation. 

For each of the midterm exams and for the final exam you are allowed to use:

No textbooks or lecture notes are allowed on the exams.
The final exam will be cumulative and will include all the material covered during the course.
