Each class will be graded on the basis of grades received on assignments and examinations, as well as attendance. Attendance will be considered as participation in the lecture, submission of assignments and answers to test. Attendance of 80% or more of class sessions and submission of assignments and examinations will be considered for grading. An average score of 60% or higher on the assignment and examinations is considered a passing grade. An "A+" is within the top 5% of the total number of students taking the course.
