The following table indicates the grade breakdown which I will use in assigning grades in the course. I reserve the right to make adjustments to the breakdown if I feel it is necessary.

50% - Homework assignments

45% - Exams

5% - Class Attendance and Participation

The following table indicates the number to letter grade mapping I will use to assign final grades at the end of the course. The Grade points column is included for your convenience only, and is not official information. The official mapping can be found on page 16 of the 2001-2002 Undergraduate Catalog.
