Grading Scheme

35% Midterm
65% Final: Comprehensive, i.e. all materials taught in the whole semester will be tested, including those already tested in the miderm exam. But focus will be on those topics not covered in the midterm.
Exams are closed books and notes, no calculator and no formula sheets are provided.
More information will be given in the lecture prior to the exams.
