Tests and Exams

There will be 6 tests, two cumulative exams and one final. Each half of the semester will have 3 tests and one exam.

The exam will count twice, which means that each half of the semester has a total of five test grades. The two lowest

score out of these five (counting the cumulative exam twice) will be dropped. The average of the remaining three

grades will constitute the Tests and Exam grade for that half of the semester.

Homework/ Classwork

On days when homework is due, a homework grade will be assigned to each student. That grade will be an integer

between zero and two. Each half of the semester has 5 days without tests or exams. The lowest day will be dropped

for each half of the semester. The remaining total of points will be graded out of 16.
