2. Grading Information

There will be four  exams, E1 , E2 , E3 .and  a final , F  .
.

GRADES  :   Each of the  four  Exams  will count  20%  toward the final course grade  .  Similarly the grade of  the  WeBWorK  will  be   20% .
                       
The lowest of the first  3  exam score can be replaced by the Final exam score   if  the Final exam score  is  larger than  it .

Your   letter grade     for the course  will     not be lower     than it would be if it were based  on  the scale appearing in the following table .

Numerical Range Letter Grade
    90     to   100
A
   80    to    89.99   
 B
   65   to    79.99
C
    50  to     64.99
 D
       Below   50
 F   or  NC


Missed Exams  :   If you are  unable to take one of   Exams  E1-E3 for legitimate reasons ( such as verified illness or serious family emergency )  you  will not be given   a  make-up   exam .  You first need to explain to me why you missed the exam and if everything is in  order you will get an   excused absence .  Your grade for the missed exam will be calculated by a   statistical proceedure which uses your scores on the other taken exams, including the Final  .  If the only exam you miss is the Final Exam , then you  must take a  make-up  Final exam at the begining of the   Fall semester  2010  .  
     
Policy  for  taking exams :
 
  A small (3" x 5") index card may be used as a "cheat sheet." You may write on both sides and include any information you deem useful.
