Final Exam         40%

Miscellaneous:

I either do ``curve'' or do not ``curve'' depending on how you
define it. I do not preassign the number of students who will
receive a specific grade. On the other hand, neither do I preassign
the gradelines before seeing the distribution of grades. Gradelines
will be announced on the web, as soon as possible after
the quiz or exam.

Incompletes will be given only in cases where the student has
completed all but a small fraction of the course with a grade of C or
better and a severe unexpected event prevents completion of the
course. In particular, if you get behind, you cannot ``bail out'' by
taking an incomplete. The last day to cancel, without permission from
your College office, is the last day of the sixth week.
