Grading Policy:  There will be three midterm exams and one final exam. The final exam is counted as two midterms. The graded homework and quizzes are counted as one exam. The homework assignment will be in the form of online homework AND hand-in homework(each counts as 50%). The course grade is based on the best five scores. Attendance will be taken regularly and may affect your final grade. An unexcused absence from a test or quiz earns a grade of zero.  The Honor Code  will be enforced and violations will not be tolerated.
