GRADING:

• There will be three midterms each worth 15% of your grade. Your quiz grade will count towards 15% of your grade. Your homework average counts towards 15% of your grade. The cumulative common final exam will be worth 25% of your grade.

• The tentative dates and coverage of the tests will be:

The final exam for Discrete Math is a common final for all of the sections of Discrete Math.
• There will be a quiz given almost every day of the semester.  It will consist of one or two questions and will be worth 3, 2, 1 or 0 points.  3 points will be given for a perfect answer with all the necessary work.  2 points will be given for an answer with a decent attempt towards an answer which is not correct.  1 point will be given for a sheet turned in with a poor solution or no solution.  0 points will be given if you are not in class or do not turn in an answer sheet.  At the end of the semester all of your quiz points will be added together and your quiz grade will be the percentage of points you earned versus the total quiz points possible.

• There will be homework assignments given almost every week.  You will have at least 1 week from the date the homework is assigned until it is due.  If you miss class, check the class web page to find out any assignments you may have missed.  No late homework will be accepted; however, I will drop your lowest homework grade during the semester.  Your homework is expected to be legible and you are expected to show all of the work that went into determining your answer.  Your homework grade will be the average of all of the individual homework grades that you earn throughout the semester.

• The scale for final grades is:
