Grading

4 unit exams 20% each

Comprehensive Final 20%

There are no make-up exams. A low grade obtained on any one of the first three unit exams due to incomplete preparation or absence may be replaced by the grade obtained on the final exam. The final exam is mandatory for obtaining a passing grade in the course. Cheating of any form will result in a score of zero on the exam. A zero obtained by cheating will not be replaced with the grade obtained on the final exam.

A non-programmable calculator is required for the tests.

A list of suggested problems and readings will be given for each unit.

Grading Scale: +’s and –‘s will be given for the upper and lower 2% of each range

87 - 100% A

77 - 86% B

63 - 76% C

52 - 62% D

51% and lower F

For students taking the course CR/NCR a minimum grade of C must be obtained to receive credit.
