- The weights for the class add up to 100%.
- There are no make-up weekly online exams. However, if you miss a weekly exam for any reason you will be allowed to drop this exam and the weekly exam portion of your final grade will be based on the other five weekly exams. Only one weekly exam will be dropped. If you take all six weekly exams, your lowest weekly exam score will be dropped when calculating your final grade.
- Weekly exams: Maximum score on each midterm: 10 points.
- Final Exam: Maximum score on the final: 100 points. The final exam is NOT an online exam.
The exam is closed book. However, you may use two 8-1/2 x 11 inch or smaller sheets of hand-written notes and equations (you may use both sides of the sheets).
- This grading scale might be lowered slightly in your favor, but it will not be raised.
- No extensions will be given for HW or weekly exams without exceptional circumstances. Students are responsible for finding a site from which they can enter their answers. "The net was down when I tried to enter my problems from Ohio" or "I couldn't get LON-CAPA to work from my parent's computer" are not valid excuses.
- Scoring system and final average formula for the course
