Exams & Grading
Your grade will be determined by the following weights:
- Homework (20%)
- Midterm 1 (25%)
- Midterm 2 (25%)
- Final Exam (30%)
- Exams will be administrated on Gradescope and proctored over Zoom.
- A working webcam and microphone are required during the exam.
- You also need a quality scanner, camera or smartphone to upload your solutions.
- You must handwrite your solutions on plain white paper, write bold and clear and use preferably a pen.
- You are not allowed to use the computer (or any other devices) to anything else than to read the exam and upload your solutions.
- Neither notes nor the textbook will be allowed while taking any of the exams.
- You will be able to see your exam graded (and ask for a regrade when necessary) in Gradescope.
Exams will be at the time of the class.
The Final Exam will have two parts. Part A will be on material tested in Midterms 1 & 2 and Part B will be on material not tested in either Midterm. Your score in Part A will replace the lower of your Midterm scores if doing so improves your grade. There will be no makeup exams.
If you miss a Midterm, then Part A of the Final Exam will replace that score. Note that only one Midterm score may be replaced this way.
