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.
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. Other parts of the
homework may be in the form of longer projects where you will work in
small groups outside of class. Letter grades will be assigned to all
the tests. The last day to drop is February~18 and you should have a
good idea of where you stand by then.
The dates of the tests will be:
