- Midterms: 50%
- Final: 40%
Class participation:
Active participation during lectures can improve the grade in borderline cases.
Quizzes:
15-minute quizzes will be given in the
beginning of (almost) every discussion session. The quiz will cover the
material from the previous week.
The TA will grade the quizzes and return them to you one week later.
Homework:
Homework will be assigned weekly, but I will not collect and
grade it. Doing the homework is the best and most efficient way to learn the
material. As additional motivation to do the homework,
there will at least be one homework problem on each quiz in the discussion
session and at least one homework problem on the midterm and the final exam.
