General Rules
- After grades are released for any homework set or exam you have two weeks in order to clarify any misgivings you may have about the grade you received. Once two weeks have passed, the assigned grade is considered accepted and no further complaints will be considered.
- The grade curve (if required) will be separate for 3-credit and 4-credit students, and will not include the participation grade i.e. it is possible to earn 105% grade.
