Grading:

There will be three hour exams of 100 points each. Homework will be collected and will count for 150 points. The Final will count for 150 points. This makes a total of 600 points:

Three midterms @ 100 points each	300 points
Total for homework	150 points
Final	150 points
Total	600 points

The grade will be based on the total number of points out of the 600 points. Note that the homework counts as much as the final so it is important to spend time on the homework. Some homework many be ``collected'' in the form of in class quizzes. Letter grades will be assigned to all the tests. The last day to drop is February 21 and you should have a good idea of where you stand by then. The dates of the tests will be:

Test 1	Friday , February 11
Test 2	Friday, March 17
Test 3	Monday, April 17
Final	Thursday, May 4, 9:00 AM.

There will be not make up exams or quizzes:

If you miss a test, then your score on that exam is 75% of the average of your other test scores including the final. Likewise I will not take late homework.
