How grades are assigned?

All homeworks: 100 points (only few key problems from the homework will be graded, approximately 8 points for homework).
Two midterm exams: 100 points each (100+100 points).
In class quizzes: 50 points.
Final exam: 200 points.
Total: 550 points.
Lowest thresholds for grades (not higher than):
A = 495, B = 440, C = 380, D = 330.
No late HWs are accepted after graded HW is returned. Even before for a late submission you shall get -1 point from the late HW grade.
