Grading
 Each problem or part on an exam, quiz, or project will be given a grade of A, B, C, or F. The number of points associated with each grade are A=5, B=4, C=3, and F=0. Your exam, quiz, or project score will be the average of your scores on the problems or parts. This same numeric mapping will be used to determine your final grade in the course. I will not curve the final scores.
 
A Excellent work. Demonstrated knowledge and utilization of all concepts. No conceptual errors. Very few algebra, calculus, or non-conceptual errors.
B Good work. Demonstrated knowledge and utilization of major concepts, with few minor conceptual errors. Very few algebra or non-conceptual errors.
C Acceptable work. Demonstrated knowledge of major concepts, but inability to utilize these concepts toward a complete solution of the problem. Significant algebra or calculus errors can also result in this grade.
F Failure. Work does not demonstrate the minimal acceptable knowledge of the subject matter.
  The grades for all problems on an exam, quiz, or project will be averaged to determine the exam (or quiz or project) grade, and the numerical values used for averaging the letter grades for each problem will be A=5, B=4, C=3, an F=0. We will have two exams during the semester, several quizzes and projects, and one final exam. The relative contribution of each of these to your final grade will be:
 
Exam I 25% (Wednesday, October 11)
Exam II 25% (Wednesday, November 15)
Quizzes/Projects 20%
Final Exam 30%
  The conversion from a numerical average back to a letter grade will be:
 
A
 5.00 - 4.60
AB
 4.60 - 4.25
B
 4.25 - 3.75
BC
 3.75 - 3.25
C
 3.25 - 2.75
D
 2.75 - 2.25
F
 2.25 - 0.00
  I will drop your lowest quiz grade. Quizzes will be held on Wednesdays, and I will not allow for make-up quizzes. If you have to miss the quiz for any reason, you will be able to drop that quiz score.
 

 

Good luck in the course!
