Homework for this week: There will be weekly homework assignments in this course. Homework is due on the Thursday of the following week at 13:45, in class, before class starts.
You can view your grades through the Stars system.
In order to get a D grade from this course, a student must show an overall achievement level of %. An important part of this achievement must be accumulated through regular studying, before taking the final exam. The student must demonstrate this by accumulating sufficient pre-final points from the first and second exams and the homework+quizzes such that the overall average will be over % if the final exam grade is less than or equal to twice the pre-final grade.
Therefore a student cannot get a D grade if the pre-final achivement level is below % from the first and second exams and the homework.
This means, a student will receive the FZ grade (and will not be able to take the final exam) if the average is lower than % from the first and second exams and the homework+quizzes! (If the average is %, the student will need to receive at least twice that: , from the final exam to get a D grade - attendance+participation is extra credit.)
