GRADING:  Letter grades (A,B,C,D,F) will be given for each     | 90 -100  A
-------   exam, but number grades  (100,99,..,2,1,0)  will     | 80 - 89  B
          be kept for averaging.  The course grade will be     | 70 - 79  C
          obtained  by averaging  the scores  of the three     | 60 - 69  D
          exams and of the homework.                           |  0 - 59  F

HOMEWORK     will be assigned every Tuesday and collected one week later in
--------  class. Each assignment is graded on a scale from zero to 20. Half
     the sum of the ten highest scores contributes  10% to the class grade.

EXAMS:  There will be three 75-minute exams,   | Exam 1  ( Th Sep 25 )  30%
-----   covering approx 80% new and 20% old    | Exam 2  ( Th Oct 30 )  30%
        material. Exam 3 is the final ---->    | Exam 3  ( We Dec 10 )  30%
        Make-up exams will be given only if    | Homework               10%
        a student missed an exam and can document a valid reason.
