How much do i need to make in the final
to get an "A" grade?
Grading:
There will be two midterm exams worth 100 points each and a final exam worth 150
points. There will also be weekly quizzes and homework assignments worth 100
points each, making the total possible score of 550 points for the course.
(Note: This grading scheme is different from what is mentioned in the Math141
syllabus.) Homework: Homework problems will be assigned (approximately) twice a week. The homework problems and the due date will be announced in the class and it will also be posted in the homework webpage. You are expected to do all the assigned homework problems, however only selected problems will be graded in detail. Late homework will not be accepted. Each homework will be graded for 10 points and the lowest score will be dropped. Each class will begin with discussion of the assigned homework problems, prompted by your questions. So please come prepared for the class. There will also be "Applied Problem sets" assigned throughout the semester. This problem set will have problems (relatively hard) based on engineering and scientific applications. These problem sets will carry more points than the regular homework sets. Quizzes: The quizzes will be held every Friday throughout the semester. The lowest quiz score will be dropped. No make up quizzes will be given for any reason. So if you miss a quiz for some reason, then that would count as a zero score. Calculators are not allowed during the quizzes and the exams. Attendance and Class Participation: The material covered in the course is fairly difficult. So your presence during each class is strongly encouraged. If you miss a class for some reason, please do read the relevant material from the book before you come to the class the next day. Please feel free to ask any questions (however simple or trivial it might seem to you) during the class. There might be others in the class who have the same questions. Class participation will be taken in to account while deciding the final grades. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions or problems relating any aspect of this course. I hope that you will have a productive semester. Academic Integrity statement "Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to cheating, plagiarism, facilitating acts of academic dishonesty by others, unauthorized prior possession of examinations, submitting work of another person or work previously used without informing the instructor, or tampering with the academic work of other students. A student charged with academic dishonesty will be given oral or written notice by the instructor." "If students believe they have been falsely accused, they should seek redress through informal discussions with the instructor, department head, dean or campus executive officer. If the instructor believes that the infraction is sufficiently serious to warrant the referral of the case to the Office of Conduct Standards or if the instructor will award a final grade of F in the course because of the infraction, the student and faculty will be afforded formal due process procedure."
