    Grading

    Grading polciy and rules

    		Grading: Your Grade will be determined from the weighted averages of 4 (four) Homework Assignmets, 1 (one) Midterm Exam and the Final Exam. The weights are:
  • Homework 25%
  • Mid-Term Exams 35%
  • Final Exam 40%
    Rules:
  • All exams will be open book. You are allowed to use the textbook and your class notes during the exams, but exchange of these materials is prohibited.
  • Every student must exhibit his/her own work in exams and homework assignments. Copying any part of work from other students' work is subject to Institute's rules for "Academic Dishonesty," and an action will be taken against the violators.
