Grades:
Grading is non-competitive. Everyone can get an A or an F depending on the percentage of total points obtained during the course. Points are earned on the midquarter and final exams (60%), homework (30%), and discussion section (10%). The final exam is worth more than the first mid quarter exam because I expect you to know more by the time you take the final.Approximate grading policy:
