Triterm 1: September, 29th
Triterm 2: October, 27th
Triterm 3: November, 17th
Common Final Exam: December **

Grading: Triterm 1 is worth 30 % of the term-grade. Triterm 2 is worth 30 % of the term-grade. Triterm 3 is worth 30% of the term-grade. The quizzes consists of 10% of the term-grade. Your course grade will be computed in the following manner:

The average term-grade for the class will be calculated = AT
The average final exam grade for the class will be calculated =AF
Let D = AF-AT
Your compensated term grade (CT) = Your term-grade + D
Your Course grade = 1/2(CT + your final exam grade)
