-
The scores of the two non-comprhensive term exams will be normalized to 100 points and the
better score of the two will be chosen for the final grading.

There will be many opportunities for exltra credit, including random attendance check and strong
participation in class activities.
These extra credit will constitute up to 10% of total.

will be used in the computation of the final score using the following fomula:
FInal Score = ( Homework ) * 0.25
+ midterm comprehensive
exam * 0.20

miss any one of the comprehensive exams with
an unavoidable reason or my prior approval, the average score of the other three exams will be used as the score of the missed comprehensive exam.
