GRADING POLICY

There will be six (50 minutes) quizzes, a  (1 hour and 15 minutes) midterm exam, and a (2-hour) final exam. Two lowest quizzes will be dropped. Each quiz is worth 10%, and each exam is worth 25%. The midterm exam covers Chapters 1 & 2, and the (noncumulative) final exam only tests Chapters 3-5.

In this semester, all tests are carried out online through Canvas in the open-book format, but your cell phone must be turned off. The online test will be available for you to open 5 minutes earlier than the scheduled test time. You don't need to print out the test but just prepare enough blank papers to write down your solutions. You must finish your test work in the designated period of time, then use extra 15 minutes to picture all your test work and submit them through Canvas. If anyone of you had trouble to submit their pictured test work through Canvas, you should immediately email your pictures to me, directly, but this would only happen when your online submission fails.

Grades will be assigned on the basis of total 100 points, distributed as follows:

Final course letter grades will be assigned as follows:
