Grading
Besides the homework that counts for 15% of your grade there will be five in-class exams (one every Monday) each counting for 10% of your grade. The final exam for this class, like all Elementary Algebra classes throughout CUNY, is the CUNY Elementary Algebra Final Examination, and counts for 35% of your grade. You can find more information about the CEAFE here: CUNY Testing
