TENTATIVE GRADING

Midterm exam 1 (25%), Midterm exam 2 (25%), Final exam (35%), Quiz (15%)

NOTES

NA (Not Attended) grade will be given to those students who have
- not taken at least 50% of the quizzes
- not taken midterm exams without official medical report, or
- taken very low grades from midterm exams, i.e. less than 20/100 (average of 2 exams)

These students will be announced in the course web page before the final exam and they will NOT be allowed to take the final exam. ATTENDANCE IS STRICTLY SUGGESTED. Students receiving NA grade CANNOT take the resit exam at the end of the semester.

Recitations will be held on Tuesdays in DR1 at 12:40. ATTENDANCE IS STRICTLY SUGGESTED.
All the lecture notes and announcements will be posted on www2.ce.metu.edu.tr/_~ce378 and https://odtuclass.metu.edu.tr/, respectively. Please check both of these web sites regularly.
Those chapters and parts of the text books, which are included in CE378, are given in the course web page.
