Grading Policy

Your course grade depends on your performance on the exams and homework. Your percentage grade is first calculated using the following formula.

Percentage grade = 30% * Homework + 15% * Exam 1 + 15% * Exam 2 + 15% * Exam 3 + 25% * Final exam

Then your letter grade is determined as follows. The A range will be 90 to 100, the B range will be 80 to 90, the C range will be 70 to 80, and the D range will be 60 to 70, with plus and minus grades at the tops and bottoms of each of these ranges. (If you are registered pass/fail, you must average at least 70 to pass.)
