5.1. Grade Distribution
Homework:
15%
First
Midterm Exam: 25%
Second
Midterm Exam: 25%
Final
Exam: 35%
Total:
100%
NOTE:
(1) The worst grade homework will be dropped and thereby not taken into account
to calculate your homework average grade. If your homework average grade is
less than 40%, you will automatically fail the course. (2) If you fail (i.e.,
if you obtain a grade < 40%) one of the three examinations, you might still
be able to pass the course, depending on your performance in the remaining
course activities. However, if you fail two examinations, you will
automatically fail the course.
In
case of grading discrepancy, the student should see the grader within a week
from the date he/she receives the graded document. After this period of time
has elapsed, grades will not be changed.
Attendance to classes is strongly encouraged. The grade will be negatively affected when more than three unjustified missed classes occur.
