Grading Policy: The course grade is computed on a total of 300 points: midterm exam and final exam of 100 points each, and a homework-quiz grade of 100 points. Attendance will be taken occasionally and may affect your final grade. An unexcused absence from an exam or quiz earns a grade of zero. When a student has a valid excuse for missing an exam, the missing exam grade is filled in with the average of that student's other grades. The Honor Code will be enforced and violations will not be tolerated.
