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 be     | 80 - 89  B
     kept for averaging. The course grade will be obtained     | 70 - 79  C
     by averaging the scores of the four exams, and of the     | 60 - 69  D
     homework.  Each  student may replace the grade of any     |  0 - 59  F
     ONE  exam by the grade of one of the following exams.

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  6%  to the class grade.

EXAMS: There will be four seventy-minutes,    |  Homework                6%
