Announcements
All official course related annoucements will be on LMS. If for whatever reason class made announcements conflict with those made on LMS, the LMS announcement will take precedence. You are responsible to follow the announcements!

Evaluations

Your course grade will be based on online quizzes and paper based exams. Grades will be computed as out of %100 and based on those values your letter grades will be assigned. A grade less than %40 will be assigned letter grade FF. To achive AA and BA you must get above %90 and 85% respectively. The remaining letter grades (including FD) will be distributed based on the overall grade distribution.

Exams

There will be two exams during the term and one final exam. There will be a single cumulative make up that will take place after the exam period is over. To take the make-up your department must send the necessary paperwork over the official channels. Please do not contact any instructor with requests to take the make-up; such requests will automatically be declined.

Quizzes

There will be a total of seven quizzes that will be online on LMS. All quizzes will be of equal value and of the seven quizzes five will contribute to your quiz grade. For each student separately the highest five quizzes will be taken towards their quiz grade. Thus even if you miss at most two quizzes you can still achieve the highest quiz grade, as such there will be no make-up for the quizzes.

For each seperate quiz you may attempt it up to five times over the quiz period. The highest attempt grade will be your grade for that quiz.

Homework

Online, on LMS you will be assigned seven homework all contributing toward your Hw grade. There will be no homework make-ups, but you will have at least a few days to work on it. There will be overlap between homework, quiz and exam questions so you are advised to attempt homework before quizzes and exams. Similar to quizzes you may attempt a homework multiple times and the highest grade will be your homework grade. For homework the number of attempts has no limit within the period the homework is open.

Grades

Your grade is calculated using the following formula

Grade = %10 (Hw) +%10 (Quiz) +%20 (Exam 1) +20% (Exam 2) +40% (Final)
