Prerequisite A grade of C or better in Math 107 or equivalent. Grading Policy Your letter grade will be based on your percentage of possible points. A 90 -- 100% C 70 -- 79% B 80 -- 89% D 60 -- 69% Homework: ......................................... .150 points Midterm 1: Jan 23..................... .. ......150 points Midterm 2: Feb 14................................ 150 points Midterm 3: Mar 13..................... ...150 points Final Exam: Mar 18............................ ....400 points Exam Policy Students are to bring calculators, pencils or pens, and paper to each exam.
