There will be 3 mid term exams and a final. Best 2 exams (12.5 % each) out of the 3 mid terms will count towards your final grade. No makeup exams will be given. You can miss 1 mid term at the most. If you do well in the first two exams, you still have to take the 3rd exam to be able to drop it. The idea is to make sure you know the material for the final. There is a chance (very little) that any of the exams might be postponed by a lecture or two based on how things proceed in the class. No note cards are allowed according to what was discussed in the first lecture.
