Grades are calculated as follows:
* Homework: 25%
* First midterm: 25%
* Second midterm: 25%
* Final exam: 25%
* Two worst homework scores will be dropped.
* The lowest midterm score can be dropped and replaced by the final exam score.
More precisely, each of the above four grades will first be curved into a number on a consistent scale. Your lowest midterm grade will be replaced by the curved final exam grade if it is higher. Finally, the four curved grades are added up and converted into a final course grade.
Midterms will be in class. Notes and calculators are not allowed.
In the case of a fire alarm during either of the midterms or the final exam, leave your exams in the room, face down, before evacuating. Under no circumstances should you take the exam with you.
