        50%                Bi-weekly Exams

        20%        Midterm Exams

        30%                Finals Exemption is granted to those with an A average before the Finals.

.

        A maximum BONUS of 5% will be added to your grade if you have perfect attendance. Any absence is one percent deduction from the BONUS.

        Short Quizzes are unannounced exams and given when most of the students don’t do the homework. Points (1 to 5 points) are awarded and added to the next weekly exam.

        Homework is not graded. You are however advised to do the assigned numbers. Quizzes are usually patterned after the homework.

        Unexcused absence from an exam will result in a zero for that exam. If you will be absent on a particular day, you must inform the office or me before the class.
