Quizzes
Besides the homework
additional
(online) quizzes will be given occasionally. These quizzes can
consist of
both
conceptual questions and problems and will be graded. The quizzes count
are worth 30% of your final grade.

Exam1 Tuesday April 22nd, 4.40pm-6.30pm
Exam2 Thursday May 15th, 4.40pm-6.30pm
Exam3 Tuesday June 10th 5.30pm-7.20pm
Allowed is
One piece of paper
is allowed with anything YOU
want to
write on it. Handwritten on both sides. Format:
Letter 8.5 x
11
Calculator is
required!!
Make-up
exams will be only given in
case of emergencies or illness (with proof) at the end of the term.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>=90%
A, 80%-89% B,
70%-79% C,
60%-69% D, < 59% F
Lowest
in the range will be a MINUS, highest will be a PLUS
(E.g. 90% = A- and 89% =
B+)
You can calculate your final score
Option 1: with Quizzes
Final Score = (e1 * 0.5 + e2 * 0.3 + e3 * 0.2)*0.7 + Q * 0.3
e1,e2,e3 = your exam scores in %; Q = Quiz Factor
The Q - factor will be calculated as follows:
Total quiz score =
80% --> Q = 100
70% --> Q=90
60% --> Q=80
50% --> Q=70
Option 2: Without quizzes or quiz score < 50%
Final Score = e1 * 0.5 + e2 * 0.3 + e3 * 0.2
