Review |
Your grade will be based on your recitation grade (problem sets), your best 2 of 3 (normalized) hour exam scores, and a final examination:
10% - Recitation grades
40% - Hour Examinations (best 2 of 3)
50% - Final Examination
Your lowest normalized hour exam score will be dropped. No make-up examinations will be given. If you miss an exam, that will be the one dropped from the calculation.
