Evaluation Procedures

There will be three exams and a comprehensive final along with weekly homework assignments and several quizzes to be announced. On all problems, you must show your work.

The final grade for the course will be calculated in the following fashion: Homework, Quizzes 25%, Class Participation 5%, Tests 50%, Final 20%. If your grade on the final exam is higher than on any of your other test scores it will replace the lowest test score.

90-100% - A
