Grading
Grades measure correct answers to the questions of the homework, two midterm exams, and the final exam. Only two out of the three exams contribute to the grade in the course. There is no make up for missing one of the three exams.

The exams are multiple choice. Bring a scantron form to each exam. Scantron forms are available, e.g., from the PSU Bookstore.

The total points, T, are computed as follows. Let A and B be the two best grades scaled to 100 among the exams and C the grade scaled to 100 of the homework. T = 0.4*(A+B)+0.2*C.

The following table converts the total points T into a letter grade. C- is not a passing grade for CS majors and it is changed by default into a D+. Notify the instructor if you expect to fail and prefer C- to D+.
