- Assignments 20%
- Midterms 30% (two midterms worth 15% each)
- Final exam 50%
The assignment grade consists of two components: solutions to problems submitted through the WeBWorK system (15%), and solutions to problems that are submitted on paper (5%). Each problem submitted to WeBWorK is given equal weight and your total WebWork score will be counted out of 90% of the total number of WeBWork problems. Thus, if there are a total of 300 WeBWork problems this term, you can get 30 of them wrong and still get the full 15% allocated to WeBWork problems. This is not intended as a point give-away. It is intended to account for the fact that, early in the semester, you will take some time to master using WeBWorK and we do not have the resources to evaluate every request for accommodation for every technical glitch you run into.
A minimum mark of 44% on the final exam is required to pass the course, independent of all others marks in the course.
