Tentative grading policy:

Homeworks.20% , Quiz 5%, Exam 1 25% Exam 2, 25%  Exam 3: 25% . Homeworks have to be handed in before the end of the class on which the homework is due. The worst two homework grades will not be counted towards the final grade.

The graduate students who are registered for four credits will have separate policies that will have more work in addition to what is outlined above. For the students registered for four credits Homeworks will be 10%, Project (handled by Prof. Rajamani) will be 10%, Quiz 5%, Exam 1 25% Exam 2: 25%  Exam 3: 25%
