HOMEWORK:
 

Homework will be assigned every class from the book. You should do as much of it as you can and turn it in. It will be accepted up to one week after it is assigned. The homework is not a part of the grade unless you do poorly on either the midterm or the final. Then it kicks in as a security deposit. Those who do consistently well on the homework but do poorly on either the midterm or the final can still get a good grade. The homework will be handed back in class.
 

GRADE:
 

On a scale of 100, your final numerical grade will be given by G=(2M+3F)/5, where M=midterm, and F=final. The numerical weights (2/5,3/5) depend to some extend on the total class average, and may be changed. If the grade on either the midterm or the final is below average the homework is taken into account.
