Grading |
| 1. regular exercises from the book | 30 points = 5pts per problem times 6 problems | a selection of 6 problems will be graded;
complete solutions provided for 6 assigned problems that will not be graded |
| 2. group projects | 30 points | all members of a group get the same grade |
Of course, some assignments contain both regular exercises and a group project. So some assignments are worth 60 points and others 30 points.
At the end of the semester, I will drop your lowest grade on a regular exercises part and I will drop your lowest grade on a group project.
All the remaining homework points will then be added together to get a homework point total. Then I will adjust that total so that the distribution of the homework grades approximately matches the distribution of the exam grades. That will determine the homework third of your grade, according to the scale on the syllabus.
