Grading:    Weekly quizzes 35%, midterm exam 25%, final exam 40%.

Homework and quizzes:    Homework problems will be assigned weekly, and will serve as a preparation for the quizzes and exams. Quizzes will be given in discussion section on Thursdays once every non-exam week. Every quiz takes about 20 minutes. The quiz will cover material from that week’s homework assignment.
