Grading policies

Written homework will be collected roughly once a week
on Brightspace. Only 4 problems will be graded by the
grader per week. Each problem will be worth five points
and so each written homework assignment will be graded
on a scale of 0 to 20.

There will be two take-home midterm exams and one final
exam. Exams will be open-textbook and notes, but no other
books, no calculators, computers, phones, or watches.

Each midterm exam will be worth 100 points, the homework
grade will be scaled to 100 points, and the final will
be worth 200 points. Your MA 366 Lab score will be
scaled to 100 points. Total points: 600.

Exm 1   100 points
Exm 2   100
Hwk     100
Lab     100
F Exm   200
--------------
Total   600 points

Final grades will be computed via this method.
