GRADES will be determined by performance on exams and on homework
problems.
There will be three exams: EX1, EX2, and EX3.
Each exam is worth 100 points.
There will be homework problems worth extra points.
Some homeworks will be small, occasionally one will be large.
All homework combined is estimated to be worth 100 points.
In case of inclement weather during finals week, the final EX3 will be
canceled and grades calculated on the basis of the coursework the student has
completed up to the cancellation.

work once
