General Information

EXAMS:

Three hour-exams.

Hour Exam Dates: T (TBA), T (TBA), T (TBA), T (TBA), Final Exam, Thursday (TBA).

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. A non-programmable calculator is required for the tests.

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

GRADING SCALE:

90% = A
80% = B
70% = C
60% = D
below 60% = F

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