Course grading scheme:
10% class participation

10% Distribution project
30% homework (You get to drop one)
20% midterm
30% final
There will be no retake of missed exams. If the midterm is missed due to a serious emergency (and the instructor has been notified in advance) the final will count for 50% of the grade. A student who does not take the final will not pass the class. Grades will be a nonlinear function of total scores. A student receving less than 60% of the possible scores most likely will get a grade under 2.0.
