Grades are based on correct answers to the questions of the homework, two midterms, and final exam.

An A is given for more than 80% correct answers, a B for 60% to 80%, a C for 40% to 60%, a D for 20% to 40%, and an F for less than 20%.

You need grades near A in the homework, midterms and final to to get an A in the course. Likewise for B, C and D.

In borderline situations, the relative weights are 20% for the homework, 25% for each midterm, and 30% for the final.
