Grading Policy: Grade will be based on Midterms and Final exams, plus HW score as described below. 
There will be  two Midterms counting 25% and the Final counting 40% of the grade. Homework counts for 10% of the grade. The grades are A, A-, B+, B, B-,C+, C, C-, D, F.

Homework: The homework will be assigned weekly and collected on Friday (unless otherwise specified), at the beginning of the lecture.  
The main purpose of the homework is to give you a variety of practice problems that allow you to actively learn the class material. 
The homework will be graded by the reader and returned to you in the next discussion section. 
Please note that there will be no make-up homework, but the  two lowest homework scores will be dropped in the computation of your final grade. 

Midterms: There will be two midterms, during the regular class hours: 1st Midterm on F 2/7/20, 1-1:50; 2nd Midterm on F 2/28/20, 1-1:50; both will be in our classroom (+extra room for overflow).
Please make sure that you have no time conflicts. There will be no make-up exams. If you miss a midterm, 
the missed midterm will not count but the remaining midterm and the final exam will count for more (see the grading  scheme below). 

Grading: Your final class score will be computed as the maximum of the following:

10% Homework + 25% Midterm 1 + 25% Midterm 2 + 40% Final

or 

10% Homework + 30% (best of two Midterms) + 60% Final

Grading complaints: If you believe a problem on an exam has been graded incorrectly, or that your score was not correctly recorded, you must bring this to the attention of the instructor within 14 calendar days of the the date of the exam in question, and before the date of the final exam . Grading complaints not initiated within this period of time will not be considered. Please verify in a timely manner that your scores are correctly recorded in MyUCLA gradebook.
