A self-scheduled final exam during the regular exam period. Please mark these dates in your calendars. If you have any conflicts regarding the exam dates, you must contact your instructor as soon as possible. The final grade in the class will be computed as a weighted average of several components. All problem sets assignments are weighted equally.
Assignments account for the largest percentage of the grade.
The time needed to complete assignments depends on a variety of factors. However, you can expect to spend 10 hours or more working on each assignment. For each assignment, one of the instructors or teaching assistants will grade the assignments for all the students in both sections. We will select at least one of the problems at random to be graded. If time permits, more than one problem may be graded.
