Quizzes  

Exams  

Marking:  Your final grade will be based on the quizzes,
two midterm exams and the final exam:

Quizzes: 10%
Midterm 1: 20%
Midterm 2: 20%
Final: 50%

When computing your quiz score, the two lowest scores will be
dropped. No further concession will be made, for any (including
medical) reasons.

If you miss one of the midterm exams for medical reasons, you need to
promptly inform the instructor, and provide a physician's note
specifically stating that you were medically unfit to write the missed
exam on that day. No make-up exams will be given. Your grade will
be based on the other course components.
