Evaluation

There will be two final exams, four midterms, and graded homeworks (about 2 every 3 weeks).
The final exam grade (F) is taken to be the best of

F = 0.5 F1 + 0.5 F2
F = 0.25 F1 + 0.75 F2

where F1 and F2 are the final exam grades for first and second half, respectively.
The midterm grade M is taken to be the average of the four midterms; similar for the homework grade H.
The overall grade will be taken to be the best of:

0.25 H + 0.25 M + 0.5 F
0.125 H + 0.125 M + 0.75 F
