GRADES
The grade for the course will be based on a weighted average of the grades
of the weekly homeworks (20%), weekly quizzes in the recitation (5%),two
midterms (20% each), the final examination (30%) and the labs (5%).

This is the minimum grade that you can get. Your actual grade may be higher,
determined by your performance in class. Also, if your performance has
improved during the course (slow start but good finish) you may get a better
grade than the table indicates.
THE COURSE GRADES ARE POSTED IN THE PHY121
