Course Grading

The course grade will come from two (2) in-class exams (three will be given and the lowest score is dropped), which each count 25% of the grade, five (5) homework assignments (six will be assigned, and the lowest dropped), which each count 3% of the grade, the PackBack participation (10%), and the final exam, which counts 25% of the grade. If anyone has a problem completing one of these assignments, they must contact me in advance, and we can work out a solution. There can be an optional project substituted for any of the in-class exams, or for the homework average, whichever is lower. All students must take the final exam.

Current exam grading scale: (Fall 2018)
A+ > 90%, A > 83%, A- > 76%, B+ > 72%, B > 68%, B- > 63%, C+ > 58%, C > 52%, C- > 48%, D+ > 46%, D > 44%, D- > 42%
