There will be a midterm and a final. My plan is that grades will be assigned according to a formula in which homework counts 40 percent, the midterm counts 25 percent and the final counts 35 percent; this is subject to change.
CMU policies on academic dishonesty will be rigorously enforced. You can expect to fail the course immediately if you copy work from others, and to have your final grade drop by two grade letters if you allow your work to be copied.
