Grading I
The final grade will be determined according to the
following weighted sum:
Homework: 20%
First Midterm Exam: 25%
Second Midterm Exam: 25%
Final Exam: 30%
The final exam encompasses all topics covered in the
course, the midterm exams only new topics.
COT3100: Introduction to Discrete Structures – p. 7/11
Grading II
Final grades A, B, C, D, and F are based on the
straight-percentage scale:
90% or above is A
80% to 89.99% is B
etc.

You are allowed to work on the homework problems in
study groups. However, you are required to turn in the
solutions on your own, and you must never copy the
solutions of other students.
Please read and understand student rights and
