Requirement/Grading

The assignments during this semester with the weights are as follows:



Class participation: 5%



Problem Sets: 15%



Midterm #1: 30%



Midterm #2: 30%



Group presentation: 20%



Grading disputes may arise. With the exception of arithmetic errors, and in order to avoid problems associated with self-selection, disputes involving points scored on individual questions will NOT be considered. However, if you wish, the entire assignment will be re-graded. This re-grading may result in either a higher or lower number of points being scored.



Requests for re-grading must be submitted in writing to the instructor within one week of the assignment first being returned.



Any request of absence for midterms must be submitted in writing before 9:00am on the exam day, except for medical emergencies.
