Course Structure and Grading Policies

Homework problems will be assigned at the end of each lecture. They might be collected and graded. In  that case, the grade will count as a quiz.  Your final score for the course will be computed as follows:

  • Computer Labs: 15% of the course grade.[http://www.math.sc.edu/calclab/141L-S10/]
  • Quizzes: 15% of the course grade. Only the 10 best scores are counted.A ten-minute quiz will be given during the problem session. There will be no make-up quizzes, since only the best 10 grades count towards the course grade.
  • Midterms: each test counts 15%, for a total of 45% of the course grade.There will be three in-class midterm exams scheduled as follows:
    Test # Date
    1 Monday Feb 08
    2 Friday  Mar 05
    3 Wednesday Apr 07

    No make-up tests will be given. Only medical, death in the family, religious or official USC business reasons are valid excuses for missing a test and must be verified by letter from a doctor, guardian or supervisor to the instructor.

  • Final exam: 25% of the course grade.The final exam is scheduled on Tuesday, May 4th, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM.

The course grade will be determined as follows:

GRADE RANGE
A 90%-100%
B+ 85%-89%
B 80%-84%
C+ 75%-79%
C 70%-74%
D+ 65%-69%
D 60%-64%
F below 60%

ATTENDANCE POLICY: Attendance is mandatory. Penalties to your final grade apply as follows:

  • Students missing four sessions without a valid excuse will have their final grade lowered by half a letter grade (e.g. from C to D+).
  • Students missing six sessions without a valid excuse will have their final grade lowered by a full letter grade (e.g. from B to C)
  • Students missing eight sessions without a valid excuse will have their final grade lowered by a letter-and-a-half (e.g. from A to C+)
