Grading Plan

Homework assigments: Homework assignments will be given throughout the term. The assignments are supposed to be returned on time, in class. 10 points (out of 100) will be deducted from your homework for each day of late return after the assignment deadline.  No homework will be accepted 2 days after the deadline. The lowest graded homework will be dropped (it will not be included in your grade).

Quizzes:  Quizzes will be given in class. Quizzes may or may not be announced before. This will also be a way to measure the attendance. The lowest graded quiz will be dropped (it will not be included in your grade).

Collaboration: Collaboration is welcome and strongly encouraged for the homework assignments. It is not OK to copy answers from each other without putting some thought into it.
