Grading

There will be two closed-book, pencil-and-paper midterm exams, each worth 15% of the grade (each) – to be held during lecture on on Tu 1/28 and Th 2/20.

Cheat Sheet You may bring a “cheat sheet” comprising a single letter-sized sheet of paper (you can use both sides if you wish.)

Final (30%)

The closed-book, pencil-and-paper final exam will be held on Tu 3/18 from 8:00–11:00am.
