Grading Policy

Homework (500 points)

Homework is usually due on Mondays. Be sure to show your work and explain how you got your answer. Correct but incomplete answers will only receive partial credit. Part of the beauty of mathematics is in the elegance of its proofs, and one goal of this course is for you to learn to write mathematics excellently.


Cooperation on homework is permitted (and encouraged), but if you work together, do not take any paper away with you---in other words, you can share your thoughts (say on a whiteboard), but you have to walk away with only your understanding. In particular, you must write the solution up on your own.

In class “Quick Response Activities” (50 points)
On occasion throughout the semester, you will be given short (5-minute) in-class quick response quizzes. These will be easy and are simply to encourage you to keep up with the class and reward your attention.
Tests (200 points)
There will be two tests, each counting one hundred points.
Final Examination (250 points)
There will be one comprehensive final examination counting two hundred fifty points.

At the end of the semester, the following grading scale will be used:

  • 1000 points is the total number of points possible.
  • A total of 900–1000 points earns an A.
  • A total of 800–899 points earns a B.
  • A total of 700–799 points earns a C.
  • A total of 600–699 points earns a D.
  • A total below 600 points earns an F.
