Grading

Late homeworks will not be accepted. There will be 10 homeworks the lowest 2 scores of which will be dropped when computing your grade.

There will be no make-up exams, neither for the midterms nor for the final. However, some flexibility is built into the system by having two grading schemes. Your overall final grade will be the best of the following two variants:

  • 10% best 8 homeworks + 30% for both midterms + 60% final.
  • 10% best 8 homeworks + 15% best midterm + 75% final.

Regrades on homeworks and midterms must be requested within two weeks of the exam date. After this time, no requests for corrections will be honored.

Homework
