| Midterm | You will have a midterm in class on Wednesday 5th week (May 2) in class. |
| Final | Friday Finals week (Jun 8th) 7:00PM -- 10:00 PM in 380X. [Note Courses that meet at 10:15MWF usually have the final at a different time. However the department considers 103 a group course, and the final is at the above special time.] |
Grading Your final grade will be the average of your homework, midterm and final with the midterm counting as 30%, final 50% and your homework 20%.
Homework Homework will be assigned every week on Wednesday, and due in class on the following Wednesday at the beginning of class. Late homework will NEVER be accepted. However to accommodate for unusual circumstances (e.g. too much beer), one homework will not count towards your grade. Working in groups is encouraged, but blindly copying will certainly guarantee miserable performance on all exams.
Extra credit There is NONE! Homework problems marked with a * are optional. Do NOT turn them in, as you will receive no credit for them. Homework problems marked with two stars (**) are 'interesting' challenge problems. If you manage solving these, come show it to me. Do not turn these in with regular homework. Three star problems are Ph. D. Thesis material. Remember that these problems are worth no extra credit. They're only there for betterment of your soul.
The midterm was out of 50. A score of 40 and up is an A. 30 and up is a B. 23 and up is a C. 15 and up is a D. Anything lower is no credit.
To give you a rough idea on the grade distribution, 13/31 people got an A, 12/31 got a B.
The midterm itself: PDF.
