Determination of Grade:

·        Two homework assignments at 30 points each

·        One term paper titled as well as its presentation at 40 points

 

      The proposed letter grade assignment is as follows:

             F            0--39.999

             C           40--59.999

             C+           60--64.999

             B           65--79.999

             B+          80--84.999

             A           85--100

 

 

Late assignments will be penalized 20 points (on the 100 point scale) if turned in up to ONE week late.  Assignments in excess of ONE week late will not be accepted except in extreme circumstances where the student has discussed with and has received an explicit extension from the instructor.  Discussion on homework assignment is welcomed.  But, each individual must write up his or her homework independently.
