• Exams: On December 9 we plan to hold a midterm. Its weight will be 20% of the total exams weight if the grade is higher than that of the final exam and 10% otherwise. The final will count for the other 80% or 90%, respectively.

• Homework: For students whose exams grade is at least 56, the homework will count for 15% of the course grade if the homework grade is higher than the exams grade and for 10% otherwise. For students whose exams grade is less than 56, the homework will not count.
