The final exam will be on Wednesday, May 2 at 12:30 PM in the usual classroom, 124 Ayres.
The homework grade will be based on a total of 310 points. There were actually 391 points possible. The maximum score is 100% though. It will count as much as a test.
The 3 tests plus homework are 80% of the grade; the final is 20%.
The class meets from 1:25 PM to 2:15PM MWF in Ayres 124.
