Grading and comments 

Each of the two tests counts for 20%, HW for the semester counts for 20%, and the final exam counts for 40%. 

A semester score of 88% or more is at least an A-, of 76% or more is at least a B-, of 64% or more is at least a C-. I would be happy to have all students finish with a course grade of A or B .
