COURSE GRADES: Grades will be assigned on the basis of 350 points, distributed as follows:

100pts - Midterm,
100pts - Homework and quizzes,
150pts - Final.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Final Exam will take place in Forum 108, 2:30-5:20pm, Tuesday May 2.
There will be 25 multiple choice questions uniformly distributed over the whole course.

Recommendations for the exam:
- Leave computationally intense questions for the last so that you can get simple questions out of the way first.
- Before starting to solve each problem, take 10-15 seconds to clearly understand what is it asking you to do and what are the different methods you know for this problem. Choose the most time effective method.
- In the end take another 5-10 seconds to see if the answer that you picked makes sense.
- Take your time to check the algebra. By far this is the most common place where students loose points.
