Grading policies for Bell's MA 181

Homework will be collected twice a week on Tuesday and Friday. Only 5 problems will be graded per week. Each problem will be worth five points and so each homework assignment will be graded on a scale of 0 to 25. The two lowest homework scores will be dropped before final grades are computed.

There will be two in-class midterm exams and one final exam. No notes, books, or calculators will be allowed during exams. Each hour exam will be worth 100 points, the homework plus quiz grade will be scaled to 100 points, and the final will be worth 200 points, making a total of 500 points for the whole course.
