Grading policy. There will be 1 midterm exam and a final
exam. The midterm exam will cover sets and groups;
the final will be comprehensive.
The exams will be given in class and will be in the form of
``practice qualifying exams''. They will consist in solving a set
of exercises very similar to the ones
contained in the set of ``homework exercises'';
you might also be asked to give basic definitions or examples.
Homework will be assigned every Friday and will be collected the next Friday.
Your final grade will be computed as follows:
the final represents 1/2,
the midterm exam represents 1/3, and the homework
represents 1/6 of the final grade respectively.
