Grading

  • Grade distribution:

      • 40% homework assignments
      • 25% midterm test (around Fall break)
      • 35% final test

  • Exams are open book, however:

      • Do not try to study notes while taking the exam

        You will get a bad grade if you are not prepared

  • How to pass my tests:

      • Understand the material
      • Do not memorize

        (I ask questions where you apply what you have learned)
