from the recommended homework.
Quizzes must be completed and returned by 2:00 pm EST

either on paper in class in SL 104, or
as a pdf sent to bach@math.wpi.edu .

| EXAMS | |
| There will be one in-class exam,
the Final Exam, on Thursday, 18 March 2021.
In general, the exam will be graduated—the first question being
easiest, the last, hardest.
The final exam will be worth 100 points. | |
| GRADING | |
| Along with the three quizzes,
the two previous homework sets
(each also worth 40 points)
will be combined to form a quiz grade.
So total value of the quizzes is 200 points.
and a grand total of 300 points is available in the term.
Grades are based on a floating scale; the scale is based on the
difficulty of the questions/assignments. The maximum number of points
required for an A is 270; for a B, 240; for a C, 210.
Final letter grades will be assigned based on the total number of points
earned, with some consideration given to consistency, progress in the
course, etc. | |
| MISSED QUIZZES, HOMEWORK AND EXAMS | |
| In general no make-up quizzes or exam will be given,
and late assignments will not be accepted.
A grade of zero will be recorded for all missed work.
Rare and unusual circumstances, however,
will be considered. | |
