20% |
| All exams are closed-book and closed-notes. Each
student will be allowed to bring to each exam a 3x5” index card
with any material written thereon that he/she considers important.
Calculators will also be allowed (necessary, in fact), but no
pre-programmed equations or notes are acceptable. All students are
expected to abide by the Virginia Tech Honor Code.
|
| Homework assignments will be given on a weekly
basis, but will not be collected or graded. However, you are strongly
encouraged to complete the assignment because each week's quiz will be taken
directly from the homework.
|
| The basis for grade assignment is the class median;
those scoring above the median will receive a grade between A+ and B-,
inclusive. To allow for particularly good classes, however, any final
score over 74% will receive at least a B-.
