20% -- 5 assignments, best 4 of 5 weighted equally
Midterm:
30%
Final Exam:
50% -- or 80% if you do better on the final than on the midterm
Please note: because of the possibility of excluding the midterm
from your final grade, there will be no make-up midterms. If you cannot
make the Midterm you will have to opt for
an 80% final. Also, if you have an exam clash and require my permission to
take the course, please provide a written statement that you will be able
to write the final exam on the same day as the rest of the class.
