3 before the mid-term test and 3 after the mid-term test. The mid-term test
will be 50 minutes long. Also, there will be a 50 minutes long final test at
the end of the semester. The mini-tests will be 100 points each. The mid-term
test will be 200 points and the final test will be 200 points. One may retake
any of the mini-tests or the mid-term exam with a penalty of 5% only once. Penalty
will be waived if you missed the test due to sickness or unavoidable circumstances
- a written note from the appropriate authority must be furnished to the school.
The mid-term and the final exams will be cumulative. Topics
for the mini tests will be announced 1 week in advance.
The mid-term test will be on Monday, March 10, 2008.
One can receive a maximum of 1000 points for the course. The
letter grade one receives will depend on the total points received out of the
maximum possible 1000 points. The letter grades will be assigned as follows:
A = 930-1000, A- = 900-929, B+ = 870-899, B = 830-869, B- =
800-829, C+ = 770-799, C = 730-769, C- = 700-729, D+ = 650-699, D = 600-649, F
= 0-599
