Grading The following table shows the weight of different assignments in your final grade. You are responsible to keep track of the points you have earned throughout this semester. To help you out with this task, I will regularly post your points on my web page. To maintain your privacy, your points are going to be listed according to a secret code of your choice rather than your names. Examinations You will be given four exams according to the following schedule.
All exams are comprehensive.
That is, they cover everything up to the end of the last class before an exam. Exams may consist of multiple choice questions, analytical questions, and graphical or numerical problems. Students unable to take an exam for reasons of illness, personal emergency, participation in sports, or other college related commitments will have to contact me before the test and provide proof of the problem as soon as possible. Similarly, for those who miss the second or the third exam, the weight of the missed exam will be added to the exam immediately following the missed exam. Students without an excused absence will receive a zero on the missed exam.
