Your course grade is the sum of following performance scores: The homeworks will count as 15% of the course grade; The in-class quizzes will also count as 15%; The midterm will count as 20% and the final exam will count as 50%.
Quizzes: During the term, there are several in-class quizzes. The day of a quiz is not completely fixed. The duration of a quiz ranges from 20 to 50 minutes. Quiz scores will be averaged and contributed to the course grade. There is no make-up quiz.
Homework: Homework questions and due date are posted in the following Tentative Syllabus of this web page which will be updated very often.
